About 02PA48Z
02PA48Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the heart using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with zooplastic tissue. 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 02PY48Z (great vessel).
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 02PA08Z (open) and 02PA38Z (percutaneous).
With a different device, use 02PA42Z (monitoring device), 02PA43Z (infusion device), 02PA47Z (autologous tissue substitute), 02PA4CZ (extraluminal device), 02PA4DZ (intraluminal device), 02PA4JZ (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.
