Replacement of Left Renal Artery with Synthetic Substitute, Open Approach
Replacement of L Renal Art with Synth Sub, 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 System4 | Lower Arteries |
| 3 | Root OperationR | Replacement Putting in or on biological or synthetic material that physically takes the place and/or function of all or a portion of a body part |
| 4 | Body PartA | Renal Artery, Left |
| 5 | Approach0 | Open |
| 6 | DeviceJ | Synthetic Substitute |
| 7 | QualifierZ | No Qualifier |
Potential MS-DRG Relationships (FY2026)
The MS-DRG grouper treats this as an operating room procedure. It appears in the surgical logic of 6 MS-DRGs:
- MDC 05 — Other Major Cardiovascular Procedures: DRG 270, DRG 271, DRG 272
- MDC 11 — Other Kidney and Urinary Tract Procedures: DRG 673, DRG 674, DRG 675
From the CMS MS-DRG Definitions Manual, Appendix E. Actual DRG assignment depends on the complete claim.
