About 0WPC47Z

0WPC47Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the mediastinum using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with autologous tissue substitute. In ICD-10-PCS, removal means taking out or off a device from a body part.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0WPC07Z (open), 0WPC37Z (percutaneous) and 0WPCX7Z (external).

With a different device, use 0WPC40Z (drainage device), 0WPC41Z (radioactive element), 0WPC43Z (infusion device), 0WPC4GZ (defibrillator lead), 0WPC4JZ (synthetic substitute), 0WPC4KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute) and 1 more.

Procedures with CC), DRG 168 (Other Respiratory System O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 361 (Other Circulatory System O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 362 (Other Circulatory System O.R.
