ICD-10-PCS Code For Atrium Right: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 02U6 includes procedures performed to supplement cardiac tissue or devices in the right atrium. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when biological or synthetic material is placed to reinforce or augment the function of the right atrium. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 02U6 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and determines appropriate case mix and payment.

Atrium, Right Supplement Procedure Overview

Procedures in this group involve placing biological or synthetic material to reinforce or augment the function of the right atrium within the heart and great vessels body system. These operations are classified under the Supplement root operation and typically include grafts, patches, or other reinforcing materials applied to atrial tissue. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding ensures the inpatient record reflects the augmentation performed and supports appropriate reimbursement and case mix assignment.

When to Use

Use a code from this group when material is intentionally placed on or in the right atrium to improve structural support or augment function. These codes apply when the primary intent of the procedure is supplementation rather than resection, repair, or replacement.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An elderly patient presents emergently with a large atrial septal tissue defect adjacent to the right atrial free wall after blunt chest trauma leading to atrial wall thinning and localized disruption. In the operating room, cardiac surgeons place a synthetic patch directly onto the damaged right atrial tissue via open median sternotomy to reinforce the atrial wall and prevent further rupture and hemodynamic compromise. The primary intent is supplementation of the right atrial tissue to restore structural integrity rather than complete replacement. Typical codes: 02U60JZ
A middle-aged patient with chronic right atrial enlargement from long-standing tricuspid regurgitation undergoes a planned minimally invasive, percutaneous endoscopic procedure to augment a focal area of atrial myopathy with autologous tissue harvested during the operation. The augmentation is performed to reinforce the right atrial wall and reduce arrhythmogenic substrate prior to definitive valve intervention. The procedure is elective and intended to supplement atrial structure and function. Typical codes: 02U647Z
A patient with prior percutaneous augmentation of the right atrium using a nonautologous biologic patch develops focal erosion with symptomatic atrial arrhythmia and needs reintervention. During hospitalization the team performs a percutaneous approach to remove compromised material and places a zooplastic tissue substitute onto the right atrial defect to re-establish reinforcement and address the complication. The operation is a revision aimed at supplementing the right atrium following failure of the initial implant. Typical codes: 02U638Z
