ICD-10-PCS Code For Gastric Artery: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 0472 includes procedures performed to dilate arteries in the gastric artery. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a vascular lumen enlargement procedure is performed on the gastric artery to restore or improve perfusion. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 0472 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and determines appropriate case mix and payment.

Gastric Artery Dilation Procedure Overview

Procedures in this group involve dilation of the gastric artery within the lower arterial system to expand the lumen and improve blood flow. These interventions target the gastric artery and are coded in the Medical and Surgical section of the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System. Accurate coding of these dilation procedures is important for inpatient reimbursement because it documents the specific vascular intervention performed and supports appropriate case mix and payment.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A 68-year-old patient with known atherosclerotic disease presents with acute upper gastrointestinal ischemic pain and imaging demonstrating high-grade focal stenosis of the main gastric artery causing impaired gastric perfusion. Endovascular dilation is performed during the same admission via femoral arterial access to restore flow using a drug-eluting intraluminal device to reduce restenosis risk. The procedure is coded to reflect percutaneous approach, dilation, and use of a drug-eluting device. Typical codes: 0472341, 047234Z
A 55-year-old patient with chronic postprandial epigastric pain and weight loss undergoes a planned inpatient endovascular intervention after angiographic confirmation of focal gastric artery stenosis refractory to medical therapy. A percutaneous endoscopic-assisted dilation is performed electively and a single intraluminal stent (non–drug-eluting) is placed to enlarge the lumen and improve gastric blood supply. The code selected should indicate dilation of the gastric artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach, and placement of an intraluminal device. Typical codes: 04724DZ, 04724ZZ
A 72-year-old patient previously treated with an intraluminal non–drug-eluting stent in the gastric artery presents weeks later with recurrent symptoms and imaging showing in-stent restenosis. During the inpatient admission, repeat percutaneous balloon dilation is performed using a drug-coated balloon to address restenosis within the prior stent and avoid immediate repeat stent placement. The coding should reflect percutaneous approach, dilation, and use of a drug-coated balloon. Typical codes: 04723D1, 04723Z1
