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

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 05F7 includes procedures performed to break solid matter in the axillary vein, right in the upper venous system. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when clinically significant venous obstruction or intraluminal material in the right axillary vein requires fragmentation to restore flow or facilitate removal. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 05F7 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Axillary Vein, Right Fragmentation Procedure Overview

This procedure group includes inpatient fragmentation of the right axillary vein, a component of the upper venous system. Procedures involve breaking solid matter or obstructive material within the vein into pieces to restore or improve venous flow. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding ensures the inpatient record reflects the specific fragmentation procedure performed and supports appropriate reimbursement and case mix assignment.

When to Use

Use codes from this group when the clinical procedure intentionally fragments solid matter within the right axillary vein to restore patency or enable removal. Do not use these codes for endovascular interventions that do not involve fragmentation of solid material.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A middle-aged patient presents to the emergency department with acute right upper extremity swelling, pain, and diminished venous return after central venous catheterization. Duplex ultrasound and venography demonstrate a bulky thrombus lodged in the right axillary vein causing near-occlusion; inpatient percutaneous fragmentation is performed to break the solid thrombus into pieces to restore flow and allow adjunctive thrombectomy or thrombolysis. The procedure targets intraluminal solid material within the right axillary vein via a percutaneous approach. Typical codes: 05F73ZZ
An adult with chronic upper-extremity venous obstruction from recurrent organizing thrombus scheduled as a planned inpatient procedure after failure of medical therapy. Interventional treatment involves percutaneous ultrasonic fragmentation to break up longstanding, solidified thrombotic material in the right axillary vein to improve outflow and facilitate subsequent mechanical extraction or catheter-directed thrombolysis. The ultrasonic energy specifically targets solid intraluminal material via a percutaneous route. Typical codes: 05F73Z0
A patient admitted with recurrent occlusion of a prior axillary vein repair and retained organized clot causing persistent symptoms despite prior intervention. During the inpatient reintervention, percutaneous fragmentation is used to break adherent, solid intraluminal material in the right axillary vein to clear the lumen and permit definitive treatment such as stent placement or thrombectomy. This scenario represents a complication or revision of previous venous procedures with targeted percutaneous fragmentation. Typical codes: 05F73Z0, 05F73ZZ
