ICD-10-PCS X2U New Technology: Cardiovascular System Supplement

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Supplement (code X2U) refers to the procedure of reinforcing or supporting an existing body part using material other than that part. This operation is classified under the New Technology section, targeting enhancements in medical procedures.

Supplement procedures typically involve adding devices or substitutes that provide extraluminal support, often to cardiovascular structures such as veins or arteries. For example, the code X2U4079 describes supplementing a Coronary Artery with a Vein Graft Extraluminal Support Device through an Open Approach. Similarly, codes X2UQ0P9 and X2UR0P9 indicate supplementing the Right and Left Upper Extremity Veins respectively, using a Synthetic Substitute as an extraluminal support device, also via an Open Approach. These codes illustrate how the root operation implements advanced technologies to strengthen vascular structures surgically.
