About 031J09J
031J09J is the ICD-10-PCS code for a bypass procedure on the left common carotid artery using an open approach with autologous venous tissue (qualifier: right extracranial artery). In ICD-10-PCS, bypass means altering the route of passage of the contents of a tubular body part.
In plain terms, this corresponds to Aorta-subclavian-carotid bypass, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (39.22).
For a different body part, codes include 031209J (innominate artery), 031309J (right subclavian artery), 031409J (left subclavian artery), 031509J (right axillary artery), 031609J (left axillary artery), 031H09J (right common carotid artery) and 4 more.
With a different device, use 031J0AJ (autologous arterial tissue), 031J0JJ (synthetic substitute), 031J0KJ (nonautologous tissue substitute) and 031J0ZJ (no device).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 037 (Extracranial Procedures with MCC), DRG 038 (Extracranial Procedures with CC), DRG 039 (Extracranial Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 209 (Complex Aortic Arch Procedures), DRG 252 (Other Vascular Procedures with MCC) and DRG 253 (Other Vascular Procedures with CC), under the surgical categories “Extracranial Procedures”, “Complex Aortic Arch Procedures”, “Other Vascular Procedures” and 2 more.
It was added in FY2018, effective October 1, 2017.
