Breakdown of ventricular intracranial shunt, init; Malfunction of ventriculoperitoneal shunt; Ventricular intracranial communicating shunt malfunction; Ventriculoperitoneal shunt malfunction. ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code T85.01XA. Breakdown (mechanical) of ventricular intracranial (communicating) shunt, initial encounter.
The physician performed a craniotomy with tunneling of the subcutaneous catheter. The surgeon gained access to the abdominal cavity via laparoscopy and placed the VP shunt.
00163J6 is a billable procedure code used to specify the performance of bypass cerebral ventricle to peritoneal cavity with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach. The code is valid for the year 2022 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.
Presence of cerebrospinal fluid drainage device The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z98. 2 became effective on October 1, 2021.

2022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code T85. 730: Infection and inflammatory reaction due to ventricular intracranial (communicating) shunt.
bypassCharacter 3—Root operation: The root operation for shunt is bypass, value of 1, which is defined as “altering the route of passage of the contents of a tubular body part.” Character 4—Body part: The body part for this procedure is usually the cerebral ventricle, which has a character value of 6.
2022 ICD-10-PCS Procedure Code 00B70ZX: Excision of Cerebral Hemisphere, Open Approach, Diagnostic.
CPT® 61510, Under Craniectomy or Craniotomy Procedures The Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) code 61510 as maintained by American Medical Association, is a medical procedural code under the range - Craniectomy or Craniotomy Procedures.
The presented results suggest that LP shunts reduce the spinal CSF volume, while VP shunts keep the cranial and spinal CSF volume in the physiological range.
CPT code 49426 is used for peritoneal venous shunt revision.
A ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt is a cerebral shunt that drains excess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) when there is an obstruction in the normal outflow or there is a decreased absorption of the fluid. Cerebral shunts are used to treat hydrocephalus.
To help drain the extra CSF from your brain, a VP shunt will be placed into your head. The VP shunt works by taking the fluid out of your brain and moving it into your abdomen (belly), where it's absorbed by your body. This lowers the pressure and swelling in your brain.
Shunt surgery is done by a specialist in brain and nervous system surgery (neurosurgeon). It's done under a general anaesthetic and usually takes 1 to 2 hours. You may need to stay in hospital for a few days after the operation to recover.
EVDs are a short-term solution to hydrocephalus, and if the underlying hydrocephalus does not eventually resolve, it may be necessary to convert the EVD to a cerebral shunt, which is a fully internalized, long-term treatment for hydrocephalus.
The following crosswalk between ICD-10-PCS to ICD-9-PCS is based based on the General Equivalence Mappings (GEMS) information:
The ICD-10 Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) is a catalog of procedural codes used by medical professionals for hospital inpatient healthcare settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates.
