About 025F0ZZ

025F0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a destruction procedure on the aortic valve using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, destruction means physical eradication of all or a portion of a body part by the direct use of energy, force, or a destructive agent.

In plain terms, this corresponds to excision or destruction of other lesion or tissue of heart, open approach, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (37.33).

For a different body part, codes include 02540ZZ (coronary vein), 02550ZZ (atrial septum), 02560ZZ (right atrium), 02570ZZ (left atrium), 02580ZZ (conduction mechanism), 02590ZZ (chordae tendineae) and 16 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 025F3ZZ (percutaneous) and 025F4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

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.
