ICD-10-PCS Code For Coronary Artery, Three Arteries: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 0272 includes procedures performed to dilate the lumen of coronary arteries in the heart and great vessels. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when interventional dilation is performed on three coronary arteries to restore or improve coronary blood flow. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 0272 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific procedure performed and determines appropriate case mix and payment.

Coronary Artery, Three Arteries Dilation Procedure Overview

This procedure group includes dilation procedures of the coronary arteries that target three coronary arteries within the heart and great vessels body system. These procedures involve expanding the lumen of coronary arteries to improve blood flow to the myocardium. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding ensures inpatient records reflect the specific arteries treated and supports appropriate reimbursement and case mix assignment.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A 62-year-old man presents to the emergency department with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction involving multiple territories. Coronary angiography reveals severe stenoses in the left anterior descending, right coronary, and circumflex arteries requiring immediate mechanical dilation with placement of drug-eluting stents via a percutaneous approach to restore flow to all three vessels. The procedure is performed during the same hospitalization for revascularization of three coronary arteries. Typical codes: 0272346, 0272366
A 58-year-old woman with stable exertional angina undergoes elective multivessel percutaneous coronary intervention after noninvasive testing and coronary angiography demonstrate significant atherosclerotic narrowings of the three major coronary arteries. The planned inpatient procedure uses conventional intraluminal stents (non-drug-eluting) placed percutaneously to dilate and scaffold the three affected arteries and improve myocardial perfusion. Typical codes: 02723DZ, 02723FZ
A 69-year-old patient readmitted for recurrent angina weeks after prior intervention is found to have in-stent restenosis involving bifurcation lesions in all three major coronary arteries. During the inpatient admission, repeat dilation with placement of additional drug-eluting intraluminal devices at the bifurcation sites is performed via an open or percutaneous approach as part of revision treatment of the previously treated vessels. Typical codes: 0272056, 0272366
