Occlusion

CCI component 2 codes - what was done
Procedure:	Occlusion
CCI 2 code:	51
CCI Collection Mode:	CCI collect each

This procedure is a part of CCI Collection. This is one of the CCI component 2 codes - what was done.

Additional Info

• Combine this "what was done" code with the code for the body part that underwent occlusion.
• That body part can be a blood vessel to code a procedure used to stop bleeding, such as embolization, banding, or surgical ligation
  • When you do this, you should also include the CCI code for Control of Bleeding
• To code placement of an IVC filter, you'd combine this component with (T) Vena Cava
• To code closure of a patent ductus arteriosis you combine it with (T) Pulmonary Artery
• The body part can be of a nonvascular structure
  • For example, a radical approach to aspiration is to ligate the trachea and create a "spit fistula" -- you'd code that with two separate CCI codes:
    • (a) for the tracheal ligation combine components (T) Trachea with Occlusion
    • (b) for the spit fistula combine components (T) Trachea with Bypass
  • For example, it can be used to indicate occlusion of other structures (e.g. lacrimal gland duct)

• Template:Discussion For embolization of an artery I know we put in the component method occlusion but my question is, do we also have to put the angiogram of the artery in the picklist?--LKolesar 13:10, 2018 June 28 (CDT)
  • does CCI_Collection#Related_Imaging.2C_Diagnostic_and_Therapeutic_procedures_performed_at_the_same_time answer your question, Laura? If so, please take it out... Ttenbergen 00:19, 2018 July 4 (CDT)

• Template:Discussion For hiatus hernia repair, I put "therapeutic intervention on the diaphragm" and I thought I would use "occlusion" because the opening is tightened up, is this what you want or what other selection would be better? --LKolesar 12:29, 2018 June 28 (CDT)
  • AG REPLY -- a good thought, but the correct CCI coding is to combine (T) Diaphragm with Repair
