027F0ZZDilation of Aortic Valve, Open Approach

027F0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a dilation procedure on the aortic valve using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, dilation means expanding an orifice or the lumen of a tubular body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to open heart valvuloplasty of aortic valve without replacement, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (35.11).

For a different body part, codes include 02700ZZ (coronary artery, one artery), 02710ZZ (coronary artery, two arteries), 02720ZZ (coronary artery, three arteries), 02730ZZ (coronary artery, four or more arteries), 027G0ZZ (mitral valve), 027H0ZZ (pulmonary valve) and 11 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 027F3ZZ (percutaneous) and 027F4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 027F04Z (intraluminal device, drug-eluting) and 027F0DZ (intraluminal device).

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