ICD-10-PCS 028 Medical and Surgical: Heart and Great Vessels Division

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Division (code 028) involves cutting into a body part without completely removing it. This is often done to separate or disconnect a portion of tissue, typically to alleviate constriction or abnormal connections.

Within the Medical and Surgical section focusing on the Heart and Great Vessels, Division is used on structures such as the Conduction Mechanism, Chordae Tendineae, and Papillary Muscle. The examples include procedures performed by an Open Approach—for instance, division of the Conduction Mechanism (02880ZZ)—as well as minimally invasive methods like Percutaneous (02883ZZ) and Percutaneous Endoscopic Approaches (02884ZZ). Similar approaches apply to dividing the Chordae Tendineae (02890ZZ, 02893ZZ, 02894ZZ) and Papillary Muscle (028D0ZZ, 028D3ZZ, 028D4ZZ). Using these ICD-10-PCS heart and great vessels division codes ensures precise documentation of procedures aimed at modifying cardiac structures by partial incision without removal.
