ICD-10-PCS 02K Medical and Surgical: Heart and Great Vessels Map
In ICD-10-PCS, the root operation Map (Character K) refers to the process of locating electrical impulses and pathways within a body part. This operation plays a crucial role in assessing the heart and great vessels.
Within the Medical and Surgical section, the Map operation is commonly applied to the conduction mechanism of the heart, which is responsible for regulating heartbeat. Examples include mapping the conduction system through an Open Approach (code 02K80ZZ), as well as less invasive techniques such as Percutaneous (code 02K83ZZ) and Percutaneous Endoscopic approaches (code 02K84ZZ). These procedures aim to pinpoint abnormal electrical signals to guide treatment, such as ablation or pacemaker placement. Using accurate ICD-10-PCS Map operation codes ensures precise documentation of these cardiac diagnostic interventions.
