02HW00ZICD-10-PCS Code: Insertion of Pressure Sensor Monitoring Device into Thoracic Aorta, Descending, Open Approach
Insert of Pressure Sens into Thor Aorta Desc, Open Approach
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 OperationH | Insertion Putting in a nonbiological appliance that monitors, assists, performs, or prevents a physiological function but does not physically take the place of a body part |
| 4 | Body PartW | Thoracic Aorta, Descending |
| 5 | Approach0 | Open |
| 6 | Device0 | Monitoring Device, Pressure Sensor |
| 7 | QualifierZ | No Qualifier |
