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

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 02LH includes procedures performed to completely close the lumen or orifice of the pulmonary valve in the heart and great vessels. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a clinician intentionally occludes the pulmonary valve to stop blood flow for therapeutic, palliative, or surgical management. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 02LH group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific occlusive procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Pulmonary Valve Occlusion Procedure Overview

Procedures in this group involve completely closing the lumen or orifice of the pulmonary valve within the heart and great vessels. These occlusion procedures target the heart and great vessels body system and are performed to stop blood flow through the pulmonary valve for therapeutic or palliative reasons. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding of these procedures supports correct inpatient reimbursement and reflects the specific invasive action performed.

When to Use

Use a code from this group when the clinical procedure intentionally and completely closes the pulmonary valve to stop blood flow through that valve. These codes apply in inpatient settings where documentation indicates that the pulmonary valve lumen or orifice was occluded as the operative goal.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An adult with severe hemoptysis from a ruptured pulmonary artery-to-right ventricular conduit after endocarditis presents emergently with hemodynamic instability and ongoing bleeding; surgeons perform an open occlusion of the pulmonary valve to stop antegrade flow and control hemorrhage as a life‑saving measure. Typical codes: 02LH0ZZ, 02LH0DZ
A neonate with complex congenital heart disease (e.g., pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect) admitted for staged palliative surgery; the planned elective procedure intentionally occludes the native pulmonary valve via a percutaneous endoscopic approach to redirect pulmonary blood flow as part of the staged repair. Typical codes: 02LH4CZ, 02LH4ZZ
A patient with a failing transcatheter pulmonary valve presenting with progressive right‑sided heart failure and paravalvular regurgitation undergoes a percutaneous occlusion of the native pulmonary valve lumen using an intraluminal device to eliminate regurgitant flow prior to valve‑in‑valve intervention. Typical codes: 02LH3DZ, 02LH3ZZ
