02UW3LZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a supplement procedure on the thoracic aorta, descending using a percutaneous approach with intraluminal device, endovascular anchors. In ICD-10-PCS, supplement means putting in or on biological or synthetic material that physically reinforces and/or augments the function of a portion of a body part.
With a different device, use 02UW37Z (autologous tissue substitute), 02UW38Z (zooplastic tissue), 02UW3JZ (synthetic substitute) and 02UW3KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 212 (Concomitant Aortic and Mitral Valve Procedures), DRG 216 (Cardiac Valve and Other Major Cardiothoracic Procedures with Cardiac Catheterization with MCC), DRG 217 (Cardiac Valve and Other Major Cardiothoracic Procedures with Cardiac Catheterization with CC), DRG 218 (Cardiac Valve and Other Major Cardiothoracic Procedures with Cardiac Catheterization without CC/MCC), DRG 219 (Cardiac Valve and Other Major Cardiothoracic Procedures without Cardiac Catheterization with MCC) and DRG 220 (Cardiac Valve and Other Major Cardiothoracic Procedures without Cardiac Catheterization with CC), under the surgical categories “Concomitant Aortic and Mitral Valve Procedures”, “”, “Cardiac Valve and Other Major Cardiothoracic Procedures without Cardiac Catheterization” and 3 more.
