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

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 06C9 includes procedures performed to remove solid matter from a vascular structure in the right renal vein. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a clinician performs extirpation of thrombus, embolus, or other obstructive material from the right renal vein. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 06C9 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Renal Vein, Right Extirpation Procedure Overview

This procedure group includes extirpation of solid matter from the right renal vein, part of the lower veins body system. Procedures remove thrombus, embolus, or other solid material obstructing venous flow in the right renal vein. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding ensures inpatient records reflect the specific operative action and supports correct case mix assignment for reimbursement.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A middle-aged patient presents to the emergency department with acute right flank pain, hematuria, and sudden onset oliguria after prolonged immobilization. Imaging with duplex ultrasound and contrast-enhanced CT demonstrates an acute occlusive thrombus within the right renal vein causing impaired venous outflow and congestive kidney changes; the surgical team performs an open extirpation to remove the organized thrombus and restore flow. An open approach is chosen because the thrombus is large, adherent, or there is concomitant need for venous exploration. Typical codes: 06C90ZZ
A patient with a known hypercoagulable disorder is admitted electively for planned removal of a chronic, nonocclusive thrombus in the right renal vein that persists despite anticoagulation and is associated with recurrent flank pain. Interventional radiology performs a percutaneous extirpation using catheter-based aspiration to evacuate solid thrombotic material and improve venous drainage while avoiding an open operation. The procedure is scheduled and performed under imaging guidance. Typical codes: 06C93ZZ
A postoperative patient develops signs of right renal vein obstruction with rising creatinine and venous congestion after prior renal surgery; repeat imaging identifies residual organized thrombus within the right renal vein despite earlier percutaneous attempts. A percutaneous endoscopic-assisted extirpation is performed to visualize and extract remaining solid material from the vein to relieve the obstruction and salvage renal function. This is undertaken as a targeted intervention for an incomplete prior removal and evolving complication. Typical codes: 06C94ZZ
