Gastrointestinal bleeding-1
Question
–The patient suffered lower Gastrointestinal bleeding and was
treated with endovascular embolization using microcoils to
stop
the blood flow. The bleeding site was found in the proximal
left
descending colon branch of the left colic artery. The main
arterial
branch to this bleeding site was successfully embolized with
microcoils. What is the appropriate ICD-10-PCS procedure
code?

Gastrointestinal bleeding-3(1)
Question
esophagogastroduodenoscopy was carried out. Multiple clips
were applied to the vessels to control the multiple
hemorrhaging
ulcers. Should”control” be assigned for the root
operationWhat
is the appropriate ICD-10-PCS procedure code
– Root operation”control” ICD-10-PCS
Coding Clinic 2014,4Q,p20
Gastrointestinal bleeding-3(2)
Answer
–The root operation”control”is defined as only applicable for
procedures to correct postoperative bleeding, and so it does not
apply
to this procedure. This procedure is a repair of the duodenum. Most
of
the body’s organs and tissues are vascular, and they bleed when cut
or
eroded. Repair of a cut or eroded body part is codes to the body
part
repaired, rather than to a vascular system body part. In this case,
the
duodenal ulcers are being repaired via an endoscopic approach,
with
clips placed on vessels eroded by the ulcers.

functional end-to-end anastomosis, is it appropriate to report
an
additional code for the side-to-side anastomosis
Coding Clinic 2014,4Q,p42
0DTF0ZZ
Answer
–Do not assign a code for the side-to-side functional
end-to-end
anastomosis. ICD-10-PCS Official Quidelines for Coding and
Reporting,Section B3.1b, clarifies that procedure steps necessary
to
close the operative site, including anastomosis of tubular body
pat,
are not coded separately. This quideline would apply regardless
of
whether the procedure is an end-to-end or side-to-side
anastomosis.
–Additionally, since there is a body part for right colon and
entire
right colon was removed, the primary procedure is coded as
resection.

Colostomy-1
Question
The above patient also had colostomy creation at the same

that lower anterior resection of the rectum was performed.
Should the colostomy be coded?
Answer
Yes, creation of the colostomy should be separately coded. In
this
case the sigmoid colon was bypassed to skin, and is
appropirately
coded to the root operation “Bypass.”

Foreign body in esophagus-1
A child presents with a penny lodged() in the proximal
esophagus, and underwent endoscopy with foreign body removal.
During the inspection of the upper GI tract, no evidence of
external migration ()or inflammation was found. What is the
appropriate ICD-10-CM code assignment for a foreign body
lodged in the esophagus that does not cause injury,
compression
of the trachea or respiratory obstruction
ICD-10-CM
Coding Clinic 2015,1Q,p23-24
Foreign body in esophagus-2
Answer • An esophageal foreign body is any object that does not
belong in the
esophagus that becomes stuck there, and so it is classified as
causing injury
in ICD-10-CM. Immediate treatment of an esophageal foreign body
is
required, especially in cause of infant or child ingestion, due to
potentially
serious complications, such as airway compromise, esophageal
injury, and
digestive tract injury. If respiratory compromise is
documented,assign code
T18.190-,Other foreign object in esophagus causing compression
of
trachea. If there is no respiratory compromise or compression,
assign code
T18.198-,Other foreign object in esophagus causing other
injury.
