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

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 05V8 includes procedures performed to restrict venous flow in the axillary vein, left. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a clinician partially closes or narrows the lumen of the left axillary vein to manage venous flow or related pathology. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 05V8 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and determines appropriate case mix and payment.

Axillary Vein, Left Restriction Procedure Overview

Procedures in this group involve partially closing or restricting the lumen of the left axillary vein within the upper venous system. They target the upper veins to reduce or limit blood flow for therapeutic reasons. Accurate coding matters because inpatient documentation determines case mix and payment and ensures the procedure performed is captured precisely. Proper selection supports clinical records and reimbursement integrity.

When to Use

Use a code from this group when the clinical procedure intentionally restricts or partially occludes the lumen of the left axillary vein. Codes in this group apply when the operation performed is restriction rather than ligation, occlusion, or other vascular interventions.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A hospitalized patient with recurrent swelling and pain of the left upper extremity due to chronic venous stenosis after prior central venous catheterization presents for a planned corrective procedure to improve venous outflow while preserving some flow for future access; the team elects to partially restrict the axillary vein lumen to redirect flow and reduce turbulent reflux. Typical codes: 05V83DZ, 05V84DZ
An elderly patient on the inpatient service develops acute venous hemorrhage control concerns and high-flow arteriovenous fistula-related venous overload in the left upper arm; during the same admission an interventional approach is chosen to partially narrow the left axillary vein percutaneously to reduce venous hypertension and bleeding risk. Typical codes: 05V83ZZ, 05V83DZ
A patient previously treated with an open extraluminal band on the left axillary vein returns with device erosion and persistent symptoms requiring surgical revision; the operative plan is open re-exploration to revise or re-create a partial restriction of the vein lumen. Typical codes: 05V80CZ, 05V80ZZ
