About 02QA0ZZ
02QA0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a repair procedure on the heart using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, repair means restoring, to the extent possible, a body part to its normal anatomic structure and function.
In plain terms, this corresponds to other repair of heart and pericardium, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (37.49).
For a different body part, codes include 02Q00ZZ (coronary artery, one artery), 02Q10ZZ (coronary artery, two arteries), 02Q20ZZ (coronary artery, three arteries), 02Q30ZZ (coronary artery, four or more arteries), 02Q40ZZ (coronary vein), 02Q50ZZ (atrial septum) and 23 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 02QA3ZZ (percutaneous) and 02QA4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 163 (Major Chest Procedures with MCC), DRG 164 (Major Chest Procedures with CC), DRG 165 (Major Chest Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 270 (Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures with MCC), DRG 271 (Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures with CC) and DRG 272 (Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Major Chest Procedures”, “Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures”, “Lymphoma and Leukemia with Major O.R.
