ICD-10-PCS Body System: ICD-10-PCS Body System 02 - Heart and Great Vessels

The ICD-10-PCS classification for the Heart and Great Vessels includes a variety of root operations used to describe procedures on this critical body system. These root operations define specific actions taken on anatomical structures to treat cardiovascular conditions.

For example, Bypass (code 021) involves altering the route of blood flow through a tubular vessel, commonly used in coronary artery bypass grafting. Dilation (code 027) expands the lumen of a vessel, such as balloon angioplasty. Insertion (code 02H) refers to placing devices like pacemakers that assist or regulate heart function without replacing the organ itself. Surgical removal of solid matter, like a clot, utilizes Extirpation (code 02C), while Replacement (code 02R) involves putting in biological or synthetic material to replace a portion of the heart or vessels, such as valve replacement. Additionally, Inspection (code 02J) allows manual or visual exploration for diagnosis. These precise root operations help accurately document interventions on the heart and great vessels in the Medical and Surgical section of ICD-10-PCS.
