About 02PA4KZ
02PA4KZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the heart using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with nonautologous tissue substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to Cardiotomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (37.11).
For a different body part, codes include 02PY4KZ (great vessel).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 02PA0KZ (open) and 02PA3KZ (percutaneous).
With a different device, use 02PA42Z (monitoring device), 02PA43Z (infusion device), 02PA47Z (autologous tissue substitute), 02PA48Z (zooplastic tissue), 02PA4CZ (extraluminal device), 02PA4DZ (intraluminal device) and 6 more.
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 228 (Other Cardiothoracic Procedures with MCC) and DRG 229 (Other Cardiothoracic Procedures without MCC), under the surgical category “Other Cardiothoracic Procedures”.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
