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

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 02VR includes procedures performed to restrict blood flow in the left pulmonary artery within the heart and great vessels. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a partial closure or narrowing of the left pulmonary artery is performed for therapeutic or hemodynamic management. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 02VR group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and determines appropriate case mix and payment.

Pulmonary Artery, Left Restriction Procedure Overview

Procedures in this group involve partially closing or narrowing the lumen of the left pulmonary artery within the heart and great vessels system. These restriction procedures reduce or limit blood flow through the left pulmonary artery for therapeutic or hemodynamic reasons. Accurate coding of these procedures is important for inpatient reimbursement because it documents the specific vascular intervention and supports appropriate case mix and payment.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A neonate with single-ventricle physiology and excessive pulmonary blood flow presents inpatient for staged palliation; to protect the pulmonary vasculature and balance systemic and pulmonary circulation the surgical team performs an open extraluminal banding of the left pulmonary artery during a planned operation. Typical codes: 02VR0CZ, 02VR0ZZ
An adolescent with a patent ductus arteriosus and left pulmonary artery stenosis undergoes a percutaneous catheterization to reduce left pulmonary artery flow using an intraluminal device placed via a transcatheter approach to relieve symptoms of pulmonary overcirculation and prepare for later definitive repair. Typical codes: 02VR3DZ, 02VR3DT
An adult patient with progressive left pulmonary artery aneurysmal dilation after prior repair develops hemoptysis and is taken to the operating room for urgent open surgical restriction of the left pulmonary artery with placement of an extraluminal device to control bleeding and limit flow. Typical codes: 02VR0CZ, 02VR0CT
