ICD-10-PCS Code For Tricuspid Valve: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 024J includes procedures performed to create a new valve structure in the tricuspid valve. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a tricuspid valve is constructed using biological or synthetic material to restore valve function or replace an absent valve. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 024J group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific creation procedure performed and determines appropriate case mix and payment.

Tricuspid Valve Creation Procedure Overview

This procedure group includes creation of a new tricuspid valve using biological or synthetic material to replicate the absent valve structure and function as closely as possible. These procedures target the heart and great vessels and involve forming a valve where the native tricuspid valve is absent or nonfunctional. Accurate coding is necessary for inpatient reimbursement because it documents the complex surgical creation and informs case mix and payment.

When to Use

Use a code from this group when a surgeon constructs a new tricuspid valve because the native valve is absent or irreparably damaged. Codes apply when biological or synthetic material is implanted to form a functional tricuspid valve during an inpatient encounter.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An adult patient with severe tricuspid atresia identified in infancy but presenting now with progressive right-sided heart failure and cyanosis despite prior palliative shunts; inpatient evaluation shows absence of a functional tricuspid valve and deterioration of hemodynamics requiring definitive reconstruction to establish an effective atrioventricular valve. A creation procedure using biological or synthetic material is performed via open cardiac surgery to construct a new tricuspid valve and restore tricuspid inflow. Typical codes: 024J0J2, 024J072
A neonate with complex congenital heart disease (common atrioventricular canal with predominant tricuspid deficiency) admitted electively for staged corrective surgery; the surgical plan includes constructing a tricuspid valve from the common atrioventricular valve using nonautologous tissue to achieve competent valve anatomy. Because this is a planned inpatient operative reconstruction of the tricuspid valve under open approach, a creation code reflecting nonautologous or zooplastic/autologous substitutes would apply. Typical codes: 024J0K2, 024J082
An adult patient presents emergently with infective endocarditis that has destroyed the native tricuspid valve leaflets and annulus, causing severe regurgitation and refractory sepsis; after stabilization, the patient undergoes urgent open surgery to create a new tricuspid valve using synthetic material when repair or homograft replacement is not feasible. The inpatient creation procedure is coded to reflect open construction of the tricuspid valve using a synthetic or other substitute. Typical codes: 024J0J2, 024J082
