About 02VW0ZZ

02VW0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a restriction procedure on the thoracic aorta, descending using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, restriction means partially closing an orifice or the lumen of a tubular body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other repair of aneurysm, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (39.52).

For a different body part, codes include 02VA0ZZ (heart), 02VG0ZZ (mitral valve), 02VL0ZZ (left ventricle), 02VP0ZZ (pulmonary trunk), 02VQ0ZZ (right pulmonary artery), 02VR0ZZ (left pulmonary artery) and 4 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 02VW3ZZ (percutaneous) and 02VW4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 02VW0CZ (extraluminal device), 02VW0DZ (intraluminal device), 02VW0EZ (intraluminal device, branched or fenestrated, one or two arteries) and 02VW0FZ (intraluminal device, branched or fenestrated, three or more arteries).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 270 (Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures with MCC), DRG 271 (Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures with CC), DRG 272 (Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC) and DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries”.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
