02NN3ZZ ICD-10-PCS Code: Release Pericardium, Percutaneous 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 OperationN | Release Freeing a body part from an abnormal physical constraint by cutting or by the use of force |
| 4 | Body PartN | Pericardium |
| 5 | Approach3 | Percutaneous |
| 6 | DeviceZ | No Device |
| 7 | QualifierZ | No Qualifier |
MS-DRG Grouper Relationships (FY2026)
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 18 MS-DRGs:
- MDC 04 — Major Chest Procedures: DRG 163, DRG 164, DRG 165
- MDC 05 — Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures: DRG 270, DRG 271, DRG 272
- MDC 17 — Lymphoma and Leukemia with Major O.R. Procedures: DRG 820, DRG 821, DRG 822
- MDC 17 — Myeloproliferative Disorders or Poorly Differentiated Neoplasms with Major O.R. Procedures: DRG 826, DRG 827, DRG 828
- MDC 21 — Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries: DRG 907, DRG 908, DRG 909
- MDC 24 — Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma: DRG 957, DRG 958, DRG 959
From the CMS MS-DRG Definitions Manual, Appendix E. Actual DRG assignment depends on the complete claim.
