About 02170KP

02170KP is the ICD-10-PCS code for a bypass procedure on the left atrium using an open approach with nonautologous tissue substitute (qualifier: pulmonary trunk). In ICD-10-PCS, bypass means altering the route of passage of the contents of a tubular body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to creation of conduit between atrium and pulmonary artery, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (35.94).

For a different body part, codes include 02160KP (right atrium), 021K0KP (right ventricle), 021L0KP (left ventricle), 021V0KP (superior vena cava), 021W0KP (thoracic aorta, descending) and 021X0KP (thoracic aorta, ascending/arch).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 02174KP (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 021708P (zooplastic tissue), 021709P (autologous venous tissue), 02170AP (autologous arterial tissue), 02170JP (synthetic substitute) and 02170ZP (no device).

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.
