Typical Clinical Scenarios

Elderly patient with sudden flank pain and hemodynamic instability after blunt abdominal trauma; imaging reveals a focal transection of the right renal artery with active extravasation and devitalized arterial segment. The patient is taken to the operating room emergently for open surgical control and removal of the damaged arterial segment without immediate vascular replacement to control hemorrhage and limit ongoing kidney ischemia. Typical codes: 04B90ZZ.
Middle-aged patient with long-standing atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis causing refractory hypertension and progressive right renal ischemia despite medical therapy; after multidisciplinary review, a targeted percutaneous excision of an occlusive arterial plaque segment in the right renal artery is planned electively to remove the diseased arterial tissue. Typical codes: 04B93ZZ, 04B93ZX.
Post-angioplasty patient who develops a focal arterial dissection and persistent occlusive flap in the right renal artery leading to worsening renal perfusion and rising creatinine; during inpatient evaluation, a percutaneous endoscopic excision of the damaged arterial segment is performed to remove the disrupted tissue when reconstruction or grafting is not performed. Typical codes: 04B94ZZ, 04B94ZX.
