About 02N44ZZ
02N44ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a release procedure on the coronary vein using a percutaneous endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, release means freeing a body part from an abnormal physical constraint by cutting or by the use of force.
In plain terms, this corresponds to other repair of heart and pericardium, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (37.49).
For a different body part, codes include 02N04ZZ (coronary artery, one artery), 02N14ZZ (coronary artery, two arteries), 02N24ZZ (coronary artery, three arteries), 02N34ZZ (coronary artery, four or more arteries), 02N54ZZ (atrial septum), 02N64ZZ (right atrium) and 20 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 02N40ZZ (open) and 02N43ZZ (percutaneous).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 270 (Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures with MCC), DRG 271 (Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures with CC), DRG 272 (Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC) and DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries”.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
