About 02HX43Z

02HX43Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a insertion procedure on the thoracic aorta, ascending/arch using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with infusion device. In ICD-10-PCS, insertion means putting in a nonbiological appliance that monitors, assists, performs, or prevents a physiological function but does not physically take the place of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to arterial catheterization, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (38.91).

For a different body part, codes include 02H443Z (coronary vein), 02H643Z (right atrium), 02H743Z (left atrium), 02HK43Z (right ventricle), 02HL43Z (left ventricle), 02HP43Z (pulmonary trunk) and 6 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 02HX03Z (open) and 02HX33Z (percutaneous).

With a different device, use 02HX40Z (monitoring device, pressure sensor), 02HX42Z (monitoring device) and 02HX4DZ (intraluminal device).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

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