About 021V0JP

021V0JP is the ICD-10-PCS code for a bypass procedure on the superior vena cava using an open approach with synthetic 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 Caval-pulmonary artery anastomosis, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (39.21).

For a different body part, codes include 02160JP (right atrium), 02170JP (left atrium), 021K0JP (right ventricle), 021L0JP (left ventricle), 021W0JP (thoracic aorta, descending) and 021X0JP (thoracic aorta, ascending/arch).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 021V4JP (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 021V08P (zooplastic tissue), 021V09P (autologous venous tissue), 021V0AP (autologous arterial tissue), 021V0KP (nonautologous tissue substitute) and 021V0ZP (no device).

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) and DRG 272 (Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures”.

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