Typical Clinical Scenarios

An adult patient admitted for chemotherapy port placement who requires central venous access for vesicant infusion and poor peripheral veins; the procedure places a tunneled infusion catheter or implanted infusion device into the right axillary vein under planned surgical conditions to provide long-term reliable access. Typical codes: 05H703Z, 05H733Z
A critically ill patient in the ICU with difficult peripheral access and need for urgent central venous monitoring and vasoactive medication administration; a percutaneous intraluminal catheter is placed into the right axillary vein at bedside to secure immediate central venous access. Typical codes: 05H73DZ, 05H73DZ
A patient with a malfunctioning implanted right-sided infusion port presenting with recurrent infusion failures and suspected catheter occlusion; during an inpatient admission the device is removed and a new infusion device is inserted into the right axillary vein via an open or percutaneous approach to restore reliable therapy delivery. Typical codes: 05H703Z, 05H733Z
