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

  • Includes occlusion of vessels via: ligation, banding, filter insertion (e.g. IVC filter), embolization, repair of aneurysm or AVM (where the abnormal connection was occluded).
    • Includes filter because a filter works by partial occlusion.
    • Regarding of embolization or banding of a vessel that is currently BLEEDING -- it would be appropriate to code both the occlusion of the vessel, and the Control of Bleeding of the vessel.
  • Also includes mechanical occlusion of other structures (e.g. lacrimal gland duct)
