The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 02VP includes procedures performed to restrict luminal flow or partially close the lumen in the pulmonary trunk. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a clinician partially occludes or narrows the pulmonary trunk to modify blood flow or treat vascular conditions.

Pulmonary Trunk Restriction Procedure Overview
Procedures in this group involve partially closing or restricting the lumen or orifice of the pulmonary trunk, a major vessel in the heart and great vessels body system. These operations are performed to reduce blood flow or alter hemodynamics through the pulmonary outflow tract. Accurate coding of these restriction procedures is important for inpatient reimbursement because it documents the specific body part and root operation performed and supports appropriate case mix assignment.
