Axis Breakdown
Every ICD-10-PCS code is exactly seven characters, one per axis. Each character's meaning is defined by its position in the code.

|---|---|---|
| 1 | Section0 | Medical and Surgical |
| 2 | Body System3 | Upper Arteries |
| 3 | Root OperationC | Extirpation Taking or cutting out solid matter from a body part |
| 4 | Body PartK | Internal Carotid Artery, Right |
| 5 | Approach3 | Percutaneous |
| 6 | DeviceZ | No Device |
| 7 | Qualifier7 | Stent Retriever |
MS-DRG Grouper Relationships (FY2027)
Potential MS-DRG participation — not a DRG assignment.
The MS-DRG grouper treats this as an operating room procedure. It appears in the surgical logic of 14 MS-DRGs:
- MDC 01 — Intracranial Vascular Procedures with Principal Diagnosis Hemorrhage: DRG 020, DRG 021, DRG 022
- MDC 01 — Craniotomy with Major Device Implant or Acute Complex CNS Principal Diagnosis: DRG 023, DRG 024
- MDC 01 — Craniotomy and endovascular intracranial procedures: DRG 025, DRG 026, DRG 027
- MDC 21 — Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries: DRG 907, DRG 908, DRG 909
- MDC 24 — Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma: DRG 957, DRG 958, DRG 959
From the CMS MS-DRG Definitions Manual, Appendix E. Actual DRG assignment depends on the complete claim.
