About 02VV3CZ

02VV3CZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a restriction procedure on the superior vena cava using a percutaneous approach with extraluminal device. In ICD-10-PCS, restriction means partially closing an orifice or the lumen of a tubular body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to Interruption of the vena cava, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (38.7).

For a different body part, codes include 02VA3CZ (heart), 02VL3CZ (left ventricle), 02VP3CZ (pulmonary trunk), 02VQ3CZ (right pulmonary artery), 02VR3CZ (left pulmonary artery), 02VS3CZ (right pulmonary vein) and 3 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 02VV0CZ (open) and 02VV4CZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 02VV3DZ (intraluminal device) and 02VV3ZZ (no device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 040 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures with MCC), DRG 041 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures with CC or Peripheral Neurostimulator), DRG 042 (Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 166 (Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 167 (Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures with CC) and DRG 168 (Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Peripheral, Cranial Nerve and Other Nervous System Procedures”, “Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures”, “Other Vascular Procedures” and 11 more.

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