A ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt is a thin plastic tube that helps drain extra cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the brain. CSF is the saltwater that surrounds and cushions the brain and spinal cord.
ICD-10 code G91. 9 for Hydrocephalus, unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the nervous system .
Ventriculoperitoneal shunting is surgery to treat excess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the cavities (ventricles) of the brain (hydrocephalus).Oct 6, 2019
The long catheter is placed under your skin, behind your ear, down your neck, and into your abdomen. As the VP shunt drains extra CSF and lessens the pressure in your brain, it may ease some of your symptoms. Some symptoms will stop right after the VP shunt is inserted.Feb 8, 2022
✓ The authors describe an indwelling intraluminal shunt for carotid endarterectomy. The device is equipped with balloons at both ends to prevent bleeding and to hold the tube in place.

A shunt is a hollow tube surgically placed in the brain (or occasionally in the spine) to help drain cerebrospinal fluid and redirect it to another location in the body where it can be reabsorbed.
Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) (G91. 2 by ICD-10), a potentially reversible cause of dementia, is the most common form of hydrocephalus in adults.Jun 30, 2021
Ventriculoperitoneal shunts are used to treat hydrocephalus and divert CSF from the lateral ventricles into the peritoneum. Tapping a shunt is performed for both diagnostic and therapeutic reasons (evaluate for infection or malfunction). A VP shunt is one of the high impact advances made in neurosurgical patient care.Sep 9, 2021
A ventriculoperitoneal shunt moves fluid from the ventricles of the brain to the abdominal cavity. A ventriculoatrial shunt moves fluid from the ventricles of the brain to a chamber of the heart. A lumboperitoneal shunt moves fluid from the lower back to the abdominal cavity.
In electronics, a shunt is a device that creates a low-resistance path for electric current, to allow it to pass around another point in the circuit. The origin of the term is in the verb 'to shunt' meaning to turn away or follow a different path.
Z98.2 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of presence of cerebrospinal fluid drainage device. The code Z98.2 is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.#N#The ICD-10-CM code Z98.2 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like cerebrospinal fluid drainage device in situ, extracranial ventricular shunt removed, extracranial ventricular shunt replaced, history of revision of ventriculoperitoneal shunt, hydrocephalic shunt catheter in situ , programmable ventricular shunt valve in situ, etc. The code is exempt from present on admission (POA) reporting for inpatient admissions to general acute care hospitals.#N#The code Z98.2 describes a circumstance which influences the patient's health status but not a current illness or injury. The code is unacceptable as a principal diagnosis.
Z98.2 is exempt from POA reporting - The Present on Admission (POA) indicator is used for diagnosis codes included in claims involving inpatient admissions to general acute care hospitals. POA indicators must be reported to CMS on each claim to facilitate the grouping of diagnoses codes into the proper Diagnostic Related Groups (DRG). CMS publishes a listing of specific diagnosis codes that are exempt from the POA reporting requirement. Review other POA exempt codes here.
The Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries is a list of ICD-10 codes, organized "head to toe" into chapters and sections with coding notes and guidance for inclusions, exclusions, descriptions and more. The following references are applicable to the code Z98.2:
A patient with congenital hydrocephalus status post ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt was admitted due to shunt failure. The VP shunt had become free of its connection and had migrated into the abdomen. Surgery was performed to replace the migrated portion of the VP shunt. The distal end of the catheter was removed laparoscopically from the abdomen and replaced. An incision was then made in the periauricular area to expose the site of the distal tubing, and cerebrospinal fluid was seen flowing through the disconnected tubing. A tunneler was used, and the distal tubing was brought back to the periauricular incision and tied to the connecter. Please clarify the correct ICD-10-PCS procedure code (s) for laparoscopic retrieval of VP shunt with replacement of the distal catheter. Should the shunt be classified as a drainage device? ...

Diagnosis was not present at time of inpatient admission. Documentation insufficient to determine if the condition was present at the time of inpatient admission. Clinically undetermined - unable to clinically determine whether the condition was present at the time of inpatient admission.
VP of the shunt is a procedure to drain the fluid from the brain. This procedure is done to treat hydrocephalus, which is a build-up of fluid in the brain. The fluid builds up and can cause damage to the brain.
Doctors use a catheter to place a shunt inside your head. The shunt will be near your spine and it will drain the fluid from your brain.
The risks of the VP of the shunt are rare, but they do occur. Some of the risks include headache, infection, blockage of the shunt, and bleeding in the brain.
VP of the shunt is a procedure to drain the fluid from the brain. This procedure is done to treat hydrocephalus, which is a build-up of fluid in the brain. The fluid builds up and can cause damage to the brain.
There are many benefits to having this procedure done. Having the procedure done will relieve headaches and other problems caused by too much fluid in your brain.
Uses for this procedure include hydrocephalus, subarachnoid hemorrhage, subdural hemorrhage, subdural hematoma, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and traumatic brain injury.
Working in a group is very important to solve problems. Working in a group is very beneficial because there are more ideas about the topic. Also, the group has a bigger view of the topic. In addition, it is easier to find solutions for problems in a group than in an individual.
