Typical Clinical Scenarios

An elderly patient is admitted with a chronically thrombosed right basilic vein causing persistent pain, localized swelling, and recurrent cellulitis despite antibiotics. Vascular surgery elects to remove the thrombosed segment by an open extraction technique because of extensive scarring and inability to safely access the vein percutaneously. The procedure removes the diseased portion of the right basilic vein to control infection and resolve symptoms. Typical codes: 05DB0ZZ
A middle-aged patient presents urgently after failed percutaneous attempt at central venous access via the right basilic vein with retained catheter fragment and ongoing venous irritation. Interventional radiology performs a percutaneous extraction to retrieve the catheter fragment and remove the affected segment of the right basilic vein to prevent further embolic risk and local infection. The percutaneous approach is chosen to minimize operative morbidity and allow prompt resolution. Typical codes: 05DB3ZZ
A patient with prior open vein surgery on the right arm presents months later with recurrent symptomatic varicosity and venous ulceration at the site of previous repair. Because of recurrent disease and failed conservative measures, the surgical team performs a repeat extraction of the remaining right basilic vein tissue via an open approach to remove residual pathological vein and promote ulcer healing. The procedure addresses a complication of prior interventions and aims to resolve persistent venous insufficiency. Typical codes: 05DB0ZZ
