About 02VW0CZ

02VW0CZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a restriction procedure on the thoracic aorta, descending using an open 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 Clipping of aneurysm, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (39.51).

For a different body part, codes include 02VA0CZ (heart), 02VL0CZ (left ventricle), 02VP0CZ (pulmonary trunk), 02VQ0CZ (right pulmonary artery), 02VR0CZ (left pulmonary artery), 02VS0CZ (right pulmonary vein) and 3 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 02VW3CZ (percutaneous) and 02VW4CZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 02VW0DZ (intraluminal device), 02VW0EZ (intraluminal device, branched or fenestrated, one or two arteries), 02VW0FZ (intraluminal device, branched or fenestrated, three or more arteries) and 02VW0ZZ (no device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 252 (Other Vascular Procedures with MCC), DRG 253 (Other Vascular Procedures with CC) and DRG 254 (Other Vascular Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Other Vascular Procedures”.

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