ICD-10-PCS Code For Pulmonary Vein, Left: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 02FT includes procedures performed to fragment solid matter in the pulmonary vein, left within the heart and great vessels. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a clinician performs fragmentation to break up intravascular deposits or occlusive material in the left pulmonary vein. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 02FT group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Pulmonary Vein, Left Fragmentation Procedure Overview

This procedure group covers fragmentation of material within the left pulmonary vein and targets the heart and great vessels body system. Procedures in this group involve breaking solid matter in the left pulmonary vein into pieces using appropriate surgical or interventional techniques. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding for these procedures ensures inpatient documentation reflects the specific root operation and supports correct case mix and reimbursement.

When to Use

Use a code from this group when a clinician intentionally breaks up solid intravascular material or occlusive deposits in the left pulmonary vein. These codes apply when the primary objective of the procedure is fragmentation rather than removal, bypass, or other root operations.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A patient presents to the hospital with acute worsening dyspnea and hemoptysis after known pulmonary vein stenosis from prior atrial fibrillation ablation. Imaging demonstrates an intraluminal thrombus obstructing the left pulmonary vein with impaired pulmonary venous drainage; interventional fragmentation is performed percutaneously to break the thrombus into pieces and restore flow. The procedure's primary objective is fragmentation of the obstructing material within the left pulmonary vein. Typical codes: 02FT3ZZ
An elective inpatient admission for planned percutaneous ultrasonic fragmentation of chronic organized thrombotic material in the left pulmonary vein identified on follow-up imaging after prior catheter interventions. The patient has progressive exertional dyspnea and imaging confirms a focal intravascular deposit that has not responded to medical therapy; ultrasonic fragmentation is chosen to break the solid material into pieces to facilitate reestablishment of venous patency. Typical codes: 02FT3Z0
A patient with recurrent pulmonary venous obstruction despite prior conservative management is admitted for a repeat percutaneous procedure after partial fragmentation elsewhere left residual adherent material causing recurrent symptoms. A targeted percutaneous fragmentation is performed to fragment the remaining solid deposits in the left pulmonary vein as a revision of prior intravascular intervention to relieve obstruction. Typical codes: 02FT3ZZ
