02.33 — Ventricular shunt to thoracic cavity
About ICD-9-CM 02.33
02.33 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for ventricular shunt to thoracic cavity. ICD-9-CM was retired for U.S. claims on October 1, 2015, when ICD-10-PCS took over.
The CMS General Equivalence Mappings translate it to 11 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 0016074 (Bypass Cerebral Ventricle to Pleural Cavity with Autologous Tissue Substitute, Open Approach), 00160J4 (Bypass Cerebral Ventricle to Pleural Cavity with Synthetic Substitute, Open Approach) and 00160K4 (Bypass Cerebral Ventricle to Pleural Cavity with Nonautologous Tissue Substitute, Open Approach). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
