Sketch the pole-zero plot and indicate the region of convergence. If the root operations Excision, Repair, or Inspection are performed on overlapping layers of the musculoskeletal system, the body part specifying the deepest layer is coded. Rather than identifying the body part bypassed from, the body part identifies the number of coronary arteries bypassed to, and the qualifier specifies the vessel bypassed from. Where a specific branch of a body part does not have its own body part value in PCS, the body part is typically coded to the closest proximal branch that has a specific body part value. Excision, Resection, Detachment, Destruction, Extraction. The PCS tables should always be consulted to find the most appropriate valid code.
