ICD-10-PCS X2A New Technology: Cardiovascular System Assistance

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Assistance (code X2A) within the New Technology section refers to using innovative methods or devices to help the cardiovascular system perform its functions. This operation supports or aids the body's processes rather than directly repairing or replacing tissue.

Examples of New Technology Assistance codes include procedures like Cerebral Embolic Filtration with various specialized filters, such as the Dual Filter in the Innominate Artery and Left Common Carotid Artery (code X2A5312) or the Single Deflection Filter in the Aortic Arch (code X2A6325), all performed via a Percutaneous Approach. Other procedures involve advanced techniques like Intermittent Coronary Sinus Occlusion (code X2A7358) and the use of Extracorporeal Flow Reversal Circuits from the carotid arteries (codes X2AH336 and X2AJ336). These assistive technologies enhance cardiovascular function during complex interventions, reflecting the cutting-edge nature of this classification.

List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify X2A - Assistance (taking over a portion of a physiological function by extracorporeal means). There are a total of 6 procedure codes in this section.
