About 0W110JB

0W110JB is the ICD-10-PCS code for a bypass procedure on the cranial cavity using an open approach with synthetic substitute (qualifier: left pleural cavity). 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 ventricular shunt to thoracic cavity, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (02.33).

For a different body part, codes include 0W190JB (right pleural cavity), 0W1B0JB (left pleural cavity), 0W1G0JB (peritoneal cavity) and 0W1J0JB (pelvic cavity).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 031 (Ventricular Shunt Procedures with MCC), DRG 032 (Ventricular Shunt Procedures with CC), DRG 033 (Ventricular Shunt Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 820 (Lymphoma and Leukemia with Major O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 821 (Lymphoma and Leukemia with Major O.R. Procedures with CC) and DRG 822 (Lymphoma and Leukemia with Major O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Ventricular Shunt Procedures”, “Lymphoma and Leukemia with Major O.R. Procedures”, “Myeloproliferative Disorders or Poorly Differentiated Neoplasms with Major O.R. Procedures” and 2 more.

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