ICD-10-PCS Body System: ICD-10-PCS Body System X2 - Cardiovascular System

The ICD-10-PCS New Technology section for the Cardiovascular System includes a variety of root operations that describe advanced interventions. These root operations define specific procedures on cardiovascular structures, reflecting modern medical techniques.

For example, Assistance (Code X2A) involves taking over part of a physiological function by extracorporeal means, such as mechanical cardiac support. Extirpation (X2C) refers to removing solid matter from a body part, like extracting a clot from a vessel. Replacement (X2R) indicates implanting biological or synthetic material that takes over all or part of a cardiovascular structure’s function, such as valve replacement. Other key operations include Dilation (X27), which expands the lumen of a vessel; Inspection (X2J), involving visual or manual exploration; and Bypass (X2K), which reroutes blood flow around an occluded segment. These root operations are essential for accurately coding complex cardiovascular procedures in the context of new technology interventions.

List of ICD-10-PCS procedures under ICD-10-PCS Body System X2 - Cardiovascular System

  • X27 - Dilation - Expanding an orifice or the lumen of a tubular body part

  • X28 - Division - Cutting into a body part, without draining fluids and/or gases from the body part, inorder to separate or transect a body part

  • X2A - Assistance - Taking over a portion of a physiological function by extracorporeal means

  • X2C - Extirpation - Taking or cutting out solid matter from a body part

  • X2H - Insertion - Putting in a nonbiological appliance that monitors, assists, performs, or prevents aphysiological function but does not physically take the place of a body part

  • X2J - Inspection - Visually and/or manually exploring a body part

  • X2K - Bypass - Altering the route of passage of the contents of a tubular body part

  • X2R - Replacement - Putting in or on biological or synthetic material that physically takes the place and/or function of all or a portion of a body part

  • X2U - Supplement - Putting in or on biological or synthetic material that physically reinforces and/oraugments the function of a portion of a body part
