024F08JCreation of Aortic Valve from Truncal Valve using Zooplastic Tissue, Open Approach

024F08J is the ICD-10-PCS code for a creation procedure on the aortic valve using an open approach with zooplastic tissue (qualifier: truncal valve). In ICD-10-PCS, creation means putting in or on biological or synthetic material to form a new body part that to the extent possible replicates the anatomic structure or function of an absent body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to total repair of truncus arteriosus, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (35.83).

With a different device, use 024F07J (autologous tissue substitute), 024F0JJ (synthetic substitute) and 024F0KJ (nonautologous tissue substitute).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for 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), DRG 219 (Cardiac Valve and Other Major Cardiothoracic Procedures without Cardiac Catheterization with MCC) and DRG 220 (Cardiac Valve and Other Major Cardiothoracic Procedures without Cardiac Catheterization with CC), under the surgical categories “Concomitant Aortic and Mitral Valve Procedures”, “” and “Cardiac Valve and Other Major Cardiothoracic Procedures without Cardiac Catheterization”.

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