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 System5 | Upper Veins |
| 3 | Root OperationB | Excision Cutting out or off, without replacement, a portion of a body part |
| 4 | Body PartS | Vertebral Vein, Left |
| 5 | Approach3 | Percutaneous |
| 6 | DeviceZ | No Device |

Potential MS-DRG Relationships (FY2026)
The MS-DRG grouper treats this as an operating room procedure. It appears in the surgical logic of 9 MS-DRGs:
- MDC 01 — Extracranial Procedures: DRG 037, DRG 038, DRG 039
- MDC 05 — Other Vascular Procedures: DRG 252, DRG 253, DRG 254
- MDC 21 — Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries: DRG 907, DRG 908, DRG 909
From the CMS MS-DRG Definitions Manual, Appendix E. Actual DRG assignment depends on the complete claim.
