About 02C53ZZ
02C53ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a extirpation procedure on the atrial septum using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, extirpation means taking or cutting out solid matter from a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to other operations on septa of heart, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (35.98).
For a different body part, codes include 02C03ZZ (coronary artery, one artery), 02C13ZZ (coronary artery, two arteries), 02C23ZZ (coronary artery, three arteries), 02C33ZZ (coronary artery, four or more arteries), 02C43ZZ (coronary vein), 02C63ZZ (right atrium) and 20 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 02C50ZZ (open) and 02C54ZZ (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.
