Superior Mesenteric Artery Insertion Procedure Overview
Procedures in this group involve the insertion of nonbiological appliances into the superior mesenteric artery, a major vessel in the lower arterial system supplying the small intestine and portions of the colon. These insertions are performed to monitor, assist, perform, or prevent physiological functions without replacing the artery itself. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding of these insertion procedures ensures the inpatient record reflects the device use and supports appropriate reimbursement and case mix assignment.
