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 02RJ includes procedures performed to replace cardiac valve structures in the tricuspid valve. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a synthetic substitute is implanted to take the place and function of all or part of the tricuspid valve. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 02RJ group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Tricuspid Valve Replacement Procedure Overview

Procedures in this group involve replacing all or part of the tricuspid valve using a synthetic substitute and target the heart and great vessels within the thoracic cavity. These replacement procedures restore valvular function by physically taking the place of the native tricuspid valve or valve segment. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding of these procedures is important for inpatient reimbursement and for reflecting the complexity of surgical care.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A 68-year-old patient with long-standing severe tricuspid regurgitation and progressive right-sided heart failure is admitted electively for definitive surgical management after failed medical therapy and diuretics. The cardiac surgeon plans an open replacement of the native tricuspid valve using a synthetic prosthetic valve to restore valve competence and reduce volume overload. This elective inpatient procedure is chosen because the anatomy and prior imaging indicate replacement rather than repair. Typical codes: 02RJ0JZ
A 54-year-old patient presents emergently with endocarditis complicated by destruction of tricuspid valve leaflets, persistent bacteremia, and signs of septic emboli despite antibiotics. Because of ongoing infection and structural valve damage, the team proceeds with transapical percutaneous implantation of a synthetic valve substitute to replace the infected tricuspid valve and control the septic source. The procedure is performed in the inpatient setting due to the acute infectious complications and hemodynamic instability. Typical codes: 02RJ3JH
A 72-year-old patient with a prior percutaneous bioprosthetic tricuspid valve presents months later with structural deterioration and symptomatic right heart failure. The interventional team elects to perform a percutaneous endoscopic valve-in-valve procedure replacing the failed bioprosthesis with a synthetic prosthetic valve to restore function and avoid repeat open sternotomy. The inpatient admission is for the planned revision and monitoring for procedural complications. Typical codes: 02RJ4JZ
