ICD-10-PCS Code For Subclavian Vein, Right: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 05F5 includes procedures performed to fragment solid material within the subclavian vein, right in the upper venous system. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when fragmentation of intravascular material in the right subclavian vein is performed to restore or improve venous patency. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 05F5 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Subclavian Vein, Right Fragmentation Procedure Overview

This procedure group includes fragmentation procedures performed on the right subclavian vein, which is part of the upper venous system. Fragmentation involves breaking solid material within the vessel into smaller pieces to restore or improve blood flow. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding for these inpatient procedures ensures the clinical action and targeted body part are captured for correct documentation and reimbursement.

When to Use

Use a code from this group when an inpatient procedure involves fragmenting solid intravascular material within the right subclavian vein. Typical clinical circumstances include attempts to clear thrombus or other occlusive material when fragmentation is the chosen operative method.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A hospitalized patient with sudden onset right upper extremity swelling and pain following a central venous catheter placement is found on duplex ultrasound to have an acute thrombus occluding the right subclavian vein. Because rapid restoration of venous patency is needed to relieve symptoms and preserve catheter function, a percutaneous ultrasonic fragmentation procedure is performed to break the thrombus into smaller pieces and improve flow prior to adjunctive thrombolysis or thrombectomy if indicated. Typical codes: 05F53Z0
An outpatient with chronic post-thrombotic syndrome of the right upper extremity admitted electively for endovascular management after failed conservative therapy. Imaging demonstrates organized intraluminal fibrous material within the right subclavian vein limiting flow; during the planned inpatient endovascular procedure, percutaneous fragmentation is used to break up the chronic material to facilitate subsequent angioplasty and stent deployment to restore long-term venous patency. Typical codes: 05F53ZZ
A patient previously treated for subclavian vein thrombosis with thrombolysis and stenting develops recurrent occlusion with dense residual material adherent to the vessel wall causing impaired inflow. During an inpatient reintervention, percutaneous ultrasonic fragmentation is used to debulk the adherent material to permit repeat endovascular recanalization and to reduce the risk of further stent failure. Typical codes: 05F53Z0
