ICD-10-PCS Code For Inferior Mesenteric Vein: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 0676 includes procedures performed to dilate venous structures in the inferior mesenteric vein. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a clinician performs luminal expansion of the inferior mesenteric vein to relieve stenosis or obstruction. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 0676 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Inferior Mesenteric Vein Dilation Procedure Overview

Procedures in this group involve dilation of the inferior mesenteric vein, a component of the lower venous system that drains blood from portions of the large intestine. These interventions expand the lumen of the vein to restore or improve venous flow and address obstructive or stenotic lesions. Accurate coding of inferior mesenteric vein dilation is important for inpatient reimbursement because it documents the specific vascular intervention performed and supports appropriate case mix and payment.

When to Use

Use codes from this group when an inpatient procedure specifically dilates the inferior mesenteric vein to treat stenosis, obstruction, or impaired venous drainage. Do not use these codes for unrelated vascular procedures or for dilation of other venous segments.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A middle-aged patient with a history of portal hypertension and chronic left-sided colonic ischemia is admitted for progressive abdominal pain and lower gastrointestinal bleeding; imaging demonstrates significant stenosis of the inferior mesenteric vein causing impaired venous drainage and venous hypertension of the sigmoid colon, prompting inpatient endovascular intervention to restore flow and reduce bleeding risk. Typical codes: 06763DZ, 06763ZZ
An elective admission for a patient with symptomatic chronic mesenteric venous outflow obstruction after prior pelvic surgery presents for planned percutaneous endoscopic venous dilation to relieve longstanding stenosis and improve colonic venous drainage; the procedure is scheduled to re-establish vessel patency using an intraluminal device under endoscopic guidance. Typical codes: 06764DZ, 06764ZZ
A postoperative patient develops acute thrombosis with secondary narrowing of the inferior mesenteric vein causing escalating abdominal pain and signs of venous congestion; an urgent open surgical approach is chosen to directly access the vein and perform dilation to re-establish venous return when percutaneous access is not feasible. Typical codes: 06760DZ, 06760ZZ
