ICD-10-PCS Code For Colic Artery, Right: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 04H6 includes procedures performed to insert nonbiological appliances that monitor, assist, perform, or prevent physiological functions in the right colic artery within the lower arteries. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a device is placed into the right colic artery to provide vascular monitoring, assist blood flow, perform a function, or prevent an adverse physiological event. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 04H6 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific insertion procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

When to Use

Use a code from this group when an appliance is placed into the right colic artery during an inpatient encounter to provide monitoring, assist circulation, perform a therapeutic function, or prevent a physiological complication. These codes apply specifically when the procedure involves insertion into the right colic artery rather than other arterial locations or different root operations.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An elderly patient is admitted with acute lower gastrointestinal hemorrhage originating from a branch of the right colic artery identified on angiography. Interventional radiology places a percutaneous infusion catheter into the right colic artery to deliver vasoconstrictive medication locally and monitor ongoing bleeding control. The percutaneous approach is chosen to rapidly manage hemorrhage while avoiding open surgery. Typical codes: 04H633Z
A patient with chronic ischemic colitis of the right colon undergoes a planned inpatient endovascular procedure to place a percutaneous endoscopic infusion device into the right colic artery to deliver long-term antispasmodic therapy and permit perfusion monitoring. The procedure is scheduled electively to improve mucosal perfusion and prevent recurrent ischemic episodes. A minimally invasive percutaneous endoscopic approach is used to insert the infusion device into the arterial lumen. Typical codes: 04H643Z
A patient previously treated with an intraluminal stent in the right colic artery returns with arterial restenosis and intermittent ischemic symptoms. During the inpatient admission, the interventional team removes the failing device and inserts a new intraluminal device into the right colic artery via an open approach because of complex anatomy and need for direct arterial control. The open insertion addresses the complication and restores arterial patency. Typical codes: 04H60DZ
