X2HL0F9 ICD-10-PCS Code: Insertion of Conduit to Short-term External Heart Assist System into Right Axillary Artery, Open Approach, New Technology Group 9
Insert Heart Asist Cnduit in R Axilla Art, Open, New Tech 9
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 | SectionX | New Technology |
| 2 | Body System2 | Cardiovascular System |
| 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 PartL | Axillary Artery, Right |
| 5 | Approach0 | Open |
| 6 | Device / Substance / TechnologyF | Conduit to Short-term External Heart Assist System |
| 7 | New Technology Group9 | New Technology Group 9 |
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 3 MS-DRGs:
From the CMS MS-DRG Definitions Manual, Appendix E. Actual DRG assignment depends on the complete claim.
