This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of coronary artery, four or more sites with drug-eluting intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 027344Z

UNSPSC 85492022 Dilation of coronary artery, four or more sites with drug-eluting intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code with a mismatch between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific cardiac intervention procedure, yet recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve coronary interventions or intraluminal devices. Instead, state and local bodies have used the code for occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — work unrelated to the code's stated procedure.

No recent opportunities under this code are directly relevant to coronary dilation procedures or interventional cardiology services. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a technical artifact in the taxonomy application. Business development professionals evaluating this code for state and local pursuit should verify the correct UNSPSC designation with the issuing body before pursuing work, as the current coding does not reflect the actual goods or services being bought.
