ICD-10-PCS X2K New Technology: Cardiovascular System Bypass
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Bypass (Character X2K) in the New Technology section refers to creating an alternate pathway to redirect blood flow around a blocked or narrowed cardiovascular vessel. This operation restores proper circulation without removing or directly repairing the original vessel.
Examples of this root operation include bypassing arteries such as the Right Radial Artery or Left Radial Artery using advanced methods like Thermal Resistance Energy with a Percutaneous Approach (codes X2KB317 and X2KC317). More complex bypasses involve using a conduit through the Femoral Vein to target vessels like the Superficial Femoral Artery or Popliteal Artery on either side, also performed percutaneously with codes such as X2KH3D9 or X2KJ3E9. These new technology bypass codes capture innovative techniques in cardiovascular interventions that enhance the precision and outcomes of blood flow restoration procedures.
List of ICD-10-PCS codes used to specify X2K - Bypass (altering the route of passage of the contents of a tubular body part). There are a total of 7 procedure codes in this section.
