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 04Q6 includes procedures performed to repair vascular structures in the lower arteries, specifically the right colic artery. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when an operative repair is performed to restore the anatomy and function of the right colic artery after injury, disease, or surgical complication. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 04Q6 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific repair procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An adult presents emergently with acute intra-abdominal hemorrhage after penetrating trauma to the right lower quadrant. Exploratory laparotomy identifies a laceration of the right colic artery with active bleeding; the vascular surgeon performs an open repair of the vessel to control hemorrhage and restore arterial integrity. An open approach is used because of hemodynamic instability and need for direct visualization and control. Typical codes: 04Q60ZZ
An elderly patient with chronic mesenteric ischemia and localized aneurysmal dilatation of the right colic artery is scheduled for a planned endovascular intervention. Under image guidance, an interventionalist accesses the arterial system percutaneously and performs a percutaneous repair of the right colic artery to exclude the aneurysm and reestablish adequate blood flow to the colon. The percutaneous approach is selected to minimize surgical morbidity in a high-risk patient. Typical codes: 04Q63ZZ
A patient previously treated conservatively for a right colic artery injury develops a persistent arteriotomy defect identified on follow-up angiography with ongoing localized bleeding and a small pseudoaneurysm. A percutaneous endoscopic-assisted repair is performed to directly visualize the vessel lumen and repair the defect to prevent recurrent hemorrhage and preserve colonic perfusion. The minimally invasive endoscopic assistance facilitates precise repair in a patient with prior interventions. Typical codes: 04Q64ZZ
