*Use ONLY this code when constructing a procedure from components that is to control bleeding

**Thus, includes doing so by ANY/ALL methods -- e.g. surgically, embolization, banding (e.g. of varices), etc.

**So, use this code, not any of the other CCI components for "what was done" -- e.g. [[Occlusion]] or [[Repair]]

*This identifies efforts to control bleeding, '''not''' remove or evacuate blood or a hematoma or clot.

**It includes doing so by ANY/ALL methods -- e.g. surgically, embolization, banding (e.g. of varices), etc.

*To create a CCI code to indicate procedure to control bleeding from components -- combine this code PLUS the "body part" code -- for control of bleeding esophageal varices combine it with '''[[(T) Esophagus]]'''

**So for example, create a code to indicate ~~generic~~ procedure to control bleeding ~~of esophageal varices~~ from components ~~by using~~ this PLUS the "body part" code ~~'''[[(T) Esophagus]]'''~~

*But this way of ~~coding generic procedures to control~~ bleeding ~~does NOT indicate the method used to do so -- but it is often possible to create another CCI code (and~~ combine it with ~~the "Control of Bleeding" CCI code) to indicate the method also~~

**For example you can combine the CCI component for Therapeutic intervention on the blood vessel of interest with the "what was done" CCI component code of '''[[Occlusion]]''' to indicate banding, or embolization, or surgical ligation, etc.

***But to do this you have to use the Therpeutic body part component code for the correct vasculature -- e.g. for esophageal bleeding you need to code the veins draining the esophagus, which for the upper esophagus would be '''[[(T) ~~Other Vessels of Head, Neck, Spine, NOS]]''' and for the lower esophagus would be '''[[(T) Thoracic Vessels, NOS~~]]'''
