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 02BJ includes procedures performed to excise portions of the tricuspid valve in the heart and great vessels. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a portion of the tricuspid valve is cut out or removed without replacement during cardiac surgery. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 02BJ group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and determines appropriate case mix and payment.

Tricuspid Valve Excision Procedure Overview

Procedures in this group involve excision of a portion of the tricuspid valve within the heart and great vessels. These International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System procedures target the heart and great vessels and remove tissue from the tricuspid valve without replacement. Accurate coding of these excision procedures ensures inpatient records reflect the operative action and supports appropriate reimbursement through correct procedure classification.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An elderly patient presents urgently with severe tricuspid regurgitation due to infective endocarditis causing focal vegetations and destruction of the tricuspid leaflet. The surgical team excises the infected and necrotic portion of the tricuspid valve through an open sternotomy approach to remove the source of sepsis without placing a prosthetic valve during the same operation. This inpatient excision is performed to control infection and stabilize hemodynamics prior to any staged reconstruction or medical therapy. Typical codes: 02BJ0ZZ
A middle-aged patient with congenital tricuspid leaflet abnormality causing symptomatic right-sided heart failure is scheduled electively for removal of a redundant portion of the tricuspid valve to reduce regurgitation. The cardiac surgeon performs a planned open excision of the diseased valve tissue during a scheduled inpatient operative admission and does not implant a replacement valve at that time. This controlled operative setting allows precise excision of the targeted valve segment. Typical codes: 02BJ0ZX, 02BJ0ZZ
A patient who previously underwent percutaneous tricuspid intervention develops recurrent symptomatic obstruction from an iatrogenic leaflet fragment or tissue overgrowth. During an inpatient session the team uses a percutaneous endoscopic approach to excise the offending portion of the tricuspid valve tissue to relieve obstruction and improve valve function without implanting a replacement. The procedure addresses the complication and avoids open reoperation when feasible. Typical codes: 02BJ4ZX, 02BJ4ZZ
