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
• AN IMPORTANT EXCEPTION is that if a procedure was done to occlude a blood vessel to control bleeding, then do NOT use this "what was done" code, but instead use Control of Bleeding
  • But use this code as part of component construction of a procedure to occlude a blood vessel that is NOT (yet) bleeding -- e.g. if they embolize a cerebral artery for a growing, but not yet bleeding, cerebral aneurysm.
• 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)
• To code TACE transarterial chemoembolization for liver cancer via femoral artery to block hepatic artery code this with (T) Liver

Collecting "CCI collect each" items

• "CCI collect each" items are entered each time they happen
• Px Date
  • if an Acquired Procedure, enter the Px Date for each day that they happen
  • if an Admit Procedure leave the date blank
• Px Count
  • if they happen more than once on a day, enter the number of times for that day, otherwise enter a Px Count of 1

Px Date for patients who move
