About 021P4KB
021P4KB is the ICD-10-PCS code for a bypass procedure on the pulmonary trunk using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with nonautologous tissue substitute (qualifier: subclavian). 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 systemic to pulmonary artery shunt, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (39.0).
For a different body part, codes include 021Q4KB (right pulmonary artery), 021R4KB (left pulmonary artery), 021W4KB (thoracic aorta, descending) and 021X4KB (thoracic aorta, ascending/arch).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 021P0KB (open).
With a different device, use 021P48B (zooplastic tissue), 021P49B (autologous venous tissue), 021P4AB (autologous arterial tissue), 021P4JB (synthetic substitute) and 021P4ZB (no device).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 166 (Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 167 (Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures with CC), DRG 168 (Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 252 (Other Vascular Procedures with MCC), DRG 253 (Other Vascular Procedures with CC) and DRG 254 (Other Vascular Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures”, “Other Vascular Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and 1 more.
It was added in FY2017, effective October 1, 2016.
