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 027J includes procedures performed to dilate structures in the tricuspid valve. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a clinician performs a dilation of the tricuspid valve to increase the orifice or lumen diameter. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 027J group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific dilation procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Tricuspid Valve Dilation Procedure Overview

Procedures in this group involve dilating the tricuspid valve within the heart and great vessels to increase the orifice diameter or lumen patency. These interventions target the heart and great vessels body system and are performed to relieve stenosis or improve valvular flow dynamics. Accurate coding of these dilation procedures ensures inpatient records reflect the specific operation performed and supports appropriate reimbursement and case mix assignment.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An elderly patient with chronic rheumatic tricuspid stenosis presents with progressive exertional dyspnea, peripheral edema, and signs of right heart failure refractory to medical therapy; after inpatient evaluation including echocardiography confirming severe tricuspid valve orifice narrowing, a planned inpatient dilation is performed to increase valve orifice area and improve forward flow. Typical codes: 027J3ZZ, 027J4ZZ
A middle-aged patient admitted urgently for worsening tricuspid stenosis following infective endocarditis with vegetations causing obstruction and hemodynamic compromise undergoes an urgent percutaneous dilation to rapidly relieve valve obstruction and stabilize hemodynamics prior to further definitive management. Typical codes: 027J3ZZ, 027J3DZ
A patient previously treated with percutaneous balloon dilation for tricuspid stenosis returns months later with recurrent stenosis due to restenosis or scar tissue formation; during a scheduled inpatient revisional dilation, an intraluminal non–drug-eluting device is placed via open or percutaneous endoscopic approach to restore lumen patency. Typical codes: 027J0DZ, 027J4DZ
