Typical Clinical Scenarios

A middle-aged patient presents to the emergency department with sudden flank pain, hematuria, and imaging showing extensive acute thrombus occluding the right renal vein with signs of renal venous congestion; the patient is admitted for urgent intervention to evacuate thrombus and restore venous outflow to preserve renal function, typically requiring an open approach if percutaneous access is not feasible in the setting of hemodynamic instability. Typical codes: 069900Z, 06990ZX
An adult with known deep venous thrombosis of the renal vein and progressive kidney enlargement undergoes a planned inpatient percutaneous endovascular procedure to drain thrombotic material and place a drainage device for ongoing thrombus evacuation and monitoring; this elective admission is focused on restoring patency of the right renal vein using a drainage device via a minimally invasive percutaneous endoscopic approach. Typical codes: 069940Z, 06994ZX
A hospitalized patient develops recurrent right renal vein thrombosis after prior anticoagulation, complicated by persistent flank swelling and impaired renal perfusion despite medical therapy; a percutaneous bedside drainage is performed to remove residual clot and relieve venous pressure when less invasive measures have failed, using a percutaneous approach without device placement if the procedure is diagnostic or temporary. Typical codes: 069930Z, 06993ZX
