ICD-10-PCS Code For Renal Vein Right: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 0679 includes procedures performed to dilate lumens or tubular structures in the renal vein, right. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when an intervention is performed to expand the right renal vein lumen to relieve stenosis or obstruction. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 0679 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and determines appropriate case mix and payment.

Renal Vein, Right Dilation Procedure Overview

Procedures in this group involve dilation of the right renal vein to expand the lumen of the venous vessel. These interventions target the lower veins body system and are performed to restore or improve venous blood flow from the right kidney. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding for these procedures ensures inpatient records reflect the specific anatomic site and root operation, which affects case mix and payment determination.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A middle-aged patient is admitted from the emergency department with acute right flank pain and imaging demonstrating severe focal stenosis of the right renal vein with compromised renal outflow and rising creatinine. After stabilization, an urgent percutaneous venous dilation is performed to restore flow and relieve the obstruction. The procedure uses a percutaneous approach and an intraluminal device (balloon catheter) to dilate the stenotic segment of the right renal vein. Typical codes: 06793DZ
An adult patient with chronic right-sided renal venous insufficiency and symptomatic edema is scheduled for an elective endovascular procedure to relieve long-standing narrowing of the right renal vein. The planned intervention is performed in the inpatient setting using a percutaneous endoscopic technique with placement of an intraluminal stent to expand the lumen and improve venous drainage. Typical codes: 06794DZ
A patient who previously underwent open renal vein repair presents with recurrent symptomatic stenosis at the repair site causing decreased right renal perfusion and worsening hypertension. A decision is made to perform an open surgical dilation of the right renal vein and place an intraluminal device during the same operation to correct the recurrent narrowing. Typical codes: 06790DZ
