Typical Clinical Scenarios

A hospitalized patient with a large left-sided subclavian vein thrombus causing venous congestion and worsening arm swelling despite anticoagulation presents with progressive pain and compromised venous outflow. Interventional team performs percutaneous drainage to evacuate thrombus-associated fluid collection and decompress the vessel to relieve symptoms and restore flow. The procedure targets the left subclavian vein via a percutaneous approach and requires placement of a drainage device to maintain ongoing evacuation. Typical codes: 059630Z
An inpatient with recurrent left-sided central venous catheter–associated seroma adjacent to the left subclavian vein after catheter removal is scheduled for a planned percutaneous endoscopic procedure to evacuate the fluid collection and obtain cultures for diagnostic evaluation. The endoscopic visualization facilitates targeted drainage of the collection around the left subclavian vein and allows sampling while minimizing tissue disruption. Typical codes: 05964ZX
A patient previously treated with open drainage of a left subclavian vein hematoma returns with persistent drain output and a suspected loculated collection despite initial intervention. The team performs repeat open drainage with placement of a new drainage device to control ongoing bleeding and resolve the residual collection around the left subclavian vein. Typical codes: 059600Z
