*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).
*Combine this "what was done" code with the code for the body part that underwent occlusion
**Includes filter because a filter works by partial occlusion.
*That body part can be a blood vessel to code a procedure used to stop bleeding, such as embolization, banding, or surgical ligation
**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.
**When you do this, you should also include the CCI code for '''[[Control of Bleeding]]'''
*Also includes mechanical occlusion of other structures (e.g. lacrimal gland duct)
*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)

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
  • 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:
    • For example, it can be used to indicate occlusion of other structures (e.g. lacrimal gland duct)
  • SMW
