About 02PA3CZ
02PA3CZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the heart using a percutaneous approach with extraluminal device. 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 02PY3CZ (great vessel).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 02PA0CZ (open) and 02PA4CZ (percutaneous endoscopic).
With a different device, use 02PA32Z (monitoring device), 02PA33Z (infusion device), 02PA37Z (autologous tissue substitute), 02PA38Z (zooplastic tissue), 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.
