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

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 06DM includes procedures performed to extract tissue or material from the femoral vein, right. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when removal of all or a portion of the femoral vein, right, is performed by force or traction. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 06DM group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Femoral Vein, Right Extraction Procedure Overview

Procedures in this group involve extraction of all or part of the right femoral vein, targeting the lower veins body system. These extraction procedures remove tissue or material by force from the femoral vein, right, and are coded using the specified ICD-10-PCS group. Accurate coding is important for inpatient reimbursement because it documents the exact operation and anatomical site for correct case mix assignment and payment.

When to Use

Use a code from this group when an extraction of tissue, thrombus, catheter, or other material from the right femoral vein is performed using force or traction. These codes apply when the procedure is documented as an extraction of the femoral vein, right, rather than a repair or drainage.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A patient presents to the emergency department with acute limb swelling, severe right lower extremity pain, and ultrasound-confirmed extensive occluding thrombus in the right femoral vein causing threatened venous outflow. Because the thrombus is large, causing limb ischemia risk and not responding to anticoagulation alone, an open extraction of the thrombus from the right femoral vein is performed to restore flow. The procedure is documented as extraction of material from the femoral vein, right, via an open approach. Typical codes: 06DM0ZZ
An inpatient scheduled for removal of an indwelling, malfunctioning femoral central venous catheter that has endothelialized into the right femoral vein undergoes a percutaneous extraction attempt. The catheter cannot be removed by simple traction and a percutaneous extraction technique is used to strip and remove the catheter material from the right femoral vein under fluoroscopic guidance. The operation is documented as extraction from the femoral vein, right, by a percutaneous approach. Typical codes: 06DM3ZZ
A patient with chronic venous insufficiency and recurrent infection around a previously placed right femoral vein venous access site requires removal of fibrotic and infected intraluminal material identified on imaging. A percutaneous endoscopic extraction is performed to directly visualize and remove the adherent material from the right femoral vein to control infection and preserve venous integrity. The operative note documents extraction from the femoral vein, right, using a percutaneous endoscopic approach. Typical codes: 06DM4ZZ
