About 0WPD0YZ

0WPD0YZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a removal procedure on the pericardial cavity using an open approach with other device. 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 0WPD3YZ (percutaneous) and 0WPD4YZ (percutaneous endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0WPD00Z (drainage device), 0WPD01Z (radioactive element) and 0WPD03Z (infusion device).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 163 (Major Chest Procedures with MCC), DRG 164 (Major Chest Procedures with CC), DRG 165 (Major Chest Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 270 (Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures with MCC), DRG 271 (Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures with CC) and DRG 272 (Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Major Chest Procedures”, “Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures”, “Lymphoma and Leukemia with Major O.R.
