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 06C7 includes procedures performed to remove solid matter from venous structures in the colic vein. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when thrombus, embolus, or other solid intraluminal material in the colic vein is extirpated to restore flow or prevent complications. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 06C7 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Colic Vein Extirpation Procedure Overview

Procedures in this group involve the extirpation, or taking out, of solid matter from the colic vein within the lower veins body system. These extirpation procedures remove thrombus, emboli, or other solid intraluminal material to restore venous patency and prevent complications. Accurate coding of these procedures in inpatient records supports appropriate case mix assignment and reimbursement by reflecting the clinical work performed.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An adult patient presents to the emergency department with acute onset right lower quadrant pain, fever, and signs of sepsis. Imaging reveals an occlusive thrombus in the right colic vein with venous congestion of the adjacent colon and concern for bowel ischemia; urgent removal of the intraluminal clot is performed via an open surgical approach to restore venous outflow and control the septic source. The open extirpation is chosen because of the need for direct exploration and possible concurrent bowel assessment. Typical codes: 06C70ZZ
An older patient with chronic mesenteric venous insufficiency undergoes a planned inpatient procedure after progressive abdominal pain and imaging demonstrating nonocclusive chronic thrombus within the colic vein causing persistent symptoms. A percutaneous, image-guided extirpation procedure is scheduled to remove organized intraluminal material and improve venous drainage while avoiding laparotomy. The percutaneous approach is selected for elective management with minimal invasiveness. Typical codes: 06C73ZZ
A postoperative patient who previously had a percutaneous thrombectomy of the colic vein develops recurrent symptomatic thrombus with rising inflammatory markers despite anticoagulation. During the inpatient admission, a percutaneous endoscopic-assisted extirpation is performed to directly visualize and remove residual organized material that was not cleared by the initial procedure. The endoscopic assistance allows targeted removal of adherent thrombus and evaluation of the venous lumen. Typical codes: 06C74ZZ
