Innominate Artery Extirpation Procedure Overview
Procedures in this group involve the extirpation, or taking out, of solid matter from the innominate artery and target the upper arterial circulation of the chest. These procedures remove thrombus, emboli, or other obstructive solid material from the innominate artery to restore or improve blood flow. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding for these procedures is important for inpatient reimbursement because it documents the specific operation and anatomical site treated and supports appropriate case mix assignment and payment.
