Portal Vein Dilation Procedure Overview
Procedures in this group involve dilation of the portal vein, a component of the lower veins that returns blood from the gastrointestinal organs to the liver. These operations expand the lumen of the portal vein to improve flow or relieve obstruction and are performed in the inpatient setting. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding matters for documenting the specific dilation procedure performed on the portal vein and for appropriate inpatient reimbursement and case mix assignment.
