About 02PA37Z
02PA37Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the heart using a percutaneous approach with autologous tissue substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to Cardiotomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (37.11).
For a different body part, codes include 02PY37Z (great vessel).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 02PA07Z (open) and 02PA47Z (percutaneous endoscopic).
With a different device, use 02PA32Z (monitoring device), 02PA33Z (infusion device), 02PA38Z (zooplastic tissue), 02PA3CZ (extraluminal device), 02PA3DZ (intraluminal device), 02PA3JZ (synthetic substitute) and 6 more.
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.
