About 02T53ZZ

02T53ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a resection procedure on the atrial septum using a percutaneous approach. In ICD-10-PCS, resection means cutting out or off, without replacement, all of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other operations on septa of heart, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (35.98).

For a different body part, codes include 02T83ZZ (conduction mechanism), 02T93ZZ (chordae tendineae), 02TD3ZZ (papillary muscle), 02TH3ZZ (pulmonary valve), 02TM3ZZ (ventricular septum) and 02TN3ZZ (pericardium).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 02T50ZZ (open) and 02T54ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

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.
