ICD-10-PCS Code For Colic Vein: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 0617 includes procedures performed to bypass segments of the colic vein in the lower veins. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a surgical bypass is performed to reestablish venous flow around an obstruction or damaged vein segment. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 0617 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific bypass procedure performed and determines appropriate case mix and payment.

Colic Vein Bypass Procedure Overview

Procedures in this group involve bypassing obstructed or diseased segments of the colic vein to restore venous flow within the lower veins body system. These operations reroute the passage of blood around a blockage or damaged vein segment using autologous tissue substitutes or other graft material. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding of these bypass procedures ensures inpatient records reflect the surgical intervention performed and supports correct case mix assignment and reimbursement.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An older patient presents emergently with acute venous congestion of the right lower abdomen after traumatic laceration of the colic vein with ongoing hemorrhage and compromised venous outflow; inpatient surgery is required to reestablish flow and control bleeding by bypassing the damaged segment using a suitable graft. Because the setting is open surgical repair following trauma, an open-approach bypass with an autologous tissue conduit or autologous venous graft is often used. Typical codes: 061707Y, 061709Y
A middle-aged patient with chronic venous insufficiency and progressive edema of the lower abdomen and flank undergoes an elective inpatient operation to bypass a stenotic segment of the colic vein using the patient’s own arterial or venous tissue to restore durable venous drainage. This is a planned, nonemergent bypass procedure performed via open approach when autologous tissue is preferred for long-term patency. Typical codes: 06170AY, 061709Y
A patient with prior endovascular stent failure and recurrent occlusion of the colic vein develops worsening venous hypertension and skin changes; after failed percutaneous interventions, a revision bypass is performed using a percutaneous endoscopic approach to establish an alternate conduit with either autologous tissue substitute or nonautologous material. In this complication/revision scenario the endoscopic approach and choice of graft are reflected in the selected codes. Typical codes: 061747Y, 06174KY
