About 02WA0QZ

02WA0QZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the heart using an open approach with implantable heart assist system. In ICD-10-PCS, revision means correcting, to the extent possible, a portion of a malfunctioning device or the position of a displaced device.

In plain terms, this corresponds to repair of heart assist system, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (37.63).
