| 2 | Body System2 | Heart and Great Vessels |
| 3 | Root Operation1 | Bypass Altering the route of passage of the contents of a tubular body part |
| 4 | Body PartV | Superior Vena Cava |
| 5 | Approach0 | Open |
| 6 | Device9 | Autologous Venous Tissue |
| 7 | QualifierR | Pulmonary Artery, Left |
Potential MS-DRG Relationships (FY2026)
The MS-DRG grouper treats this as an operating room procedure. It appears in the surgical logic of 3 MS-DRGs:
From the CMS MS-DRG Definitions Manual, Appendix E. Actual DRG assignment depends on the complete claim.
