Bypass Thor Aorta Desc to Abd Art w Zooplastic, Open
Axis Breakdown
Every ICD-10-PCS code is exactly seven characters, one per axis. Each character's meaning is defined by its position in the code.
| Position | Value | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Section0 | Medical and Surgical |
| 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 PartW | Thoracic Aorta, Descending |
| 5 | Approach0 | Open |
| 6 | Device8 | Zooplastic Tissue |
| 7 | QualifierF | Abdominal Artery |
MS-DRG Grouper Relationships (FY2027)
Potential MS-DRG participation — not a DRG assignment.
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.
