About 02PY08Z

02PY08Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the great vessel using an open 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 incision of vessel, other thoracic vessels, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (38.05).

For a different body part, codes include 02PA08Z (heart).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 02PY38Z (percutaneous) and 02PY48Z (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 02PY02Z (monitoring device), 02PY03Z (infusion device), 02PY07Z (autologous tissue substitute), 02PY0CZ (extraluminal device), 02PY0DZ (intraluminal device), 02PY0JZ (synthetic substitute) and 2 more.

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) and DRG 272 (Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures”.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
