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 05V7 includes procedures performed to restrict blood flow in the right axillary vein. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a clinician partially closes the lumen of the right axillary vein to control bleeding, reduce flow, or limit access. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 05V7 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Axillary Vein, Right Restriction Procedure Overview

Procedures in this group involve partially closing or restricting the lumen of the right axillary vein to reduce blood flow or control venous access. They target the upper venous system and are coded in the Medical and Surgical section of the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, Procedure Coding System. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding of these restriction procedures ensures inpatient records reflect the clinical intervention and supports correct reimbursement and case mix assignment.

When to Use

Use a code from this group when a procedure intentionally partially occludes or restricts the lumen of the right axillary vein to control bleeding, limit flow, or manage venous access. These codes apply when the primary documented intent of the inpatient procedure is restriction of the right axillary vein rather than full ligation, excision, or repair.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A middle-aged trauma patient arrives with penetrating axillary soft-tissue injury and ongoing venous hemorrhage from the right axillary vein. Hemodynamic instability requires immediate surgical control of venous bleeding; the surgeon partially occludes the lumen with an external cuff or clip to reduce flow while preserving distal venous return. An open restriction procedure is performed to control hemorrhage without complete ligation. Typical codes: 05V70CZ, 05V70ZZ
An elderly patient with recurrent high-flow dialysis steal and venous hypertension in the right upper extremity presents electively for intervention to reduce excessive venous outflow through the right axillary vein. To limit flow while maintaining patency, the vascular surgeon places an intraluminal flow-restricting device via a percutaneous approach under imaging guidance. The intent is planned flow reduction to improve distal perfusion without complete occlusion. Typical codes: 05V73DZ, 05V73ZZ
A patient with a previously placed right axillary venous stent develops recurrent edema and intolerance due to overdrainage; during a scheduled admission the team revises the access by performing a percutaneous endoscopic procedure to partially constrict the vein lumen using an extraluminal band placed around the vessel. The procedure aims to modify the prior intervention to reduce symptoms while preserving venous continuity. Typical codes: 05V74CZ, 05V74ZZ
