02VX3EZRestriction of Thoracic Aorta, Ascending/Arch with Branched or Fenestrated Intraluminal Device, One or Two Arteries, Percutaneous Approach

02VX3EZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a restriction procedure on the thoracic aorta, ascending/arch using a percutaneous approach with intraluminal device, branched or fenestrated, one or two arteries. In ICD-10-PCS, restriction means partially closing an orifice or the lumen of a tubular body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to endovascular implantation of branching or fenestrated graft(s) in aorta, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (39.78).

For a different body part, codes include 02VW3EZ (thoracic aorta, descending).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 02VX0EZ (open) and 02VX4EZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 02VX3CZ (extraluminal device), 02VX3DZ (intraluminal device), 02VX3FZ (intraluminal device, branched or fenestrated, three or more arteries) and 02VX3ZZ (no device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 209 (Complex Aortic Arch Procedures), 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) and DRG 219 (Cardiac Valve and Other Major Cardiothoracic Procedures without Cardiac Catheterization with MCC), under the surgical categories “Complex Aortic Arch Procedures”, “Concomitant Aortic and Mitral Valve Procedures”, “” and 4 more.

It was added in FY2017, effective October 1, 2016.
