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

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 06DP includes procedures performed to extract all or a portion of the saphenous vein in the lower veins. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when the right saphenous vein is pulled or stripped out or off as part of treatment for venous disease or related interventions. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 06DP group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific extraction procedure performed and determines appropriate case mix and payment.

Saphenous Vein, Right Extraction Procedure Overview

Procedures in this group involve extraction of all or a portion of the right saphenous vein through pulling or stripping techniques within the lower veins body system. These operations remove vein tissue using force to treat venous disease or prepare for other vascular procedures. Accurate coding of these extractions is important for inpatient reimbursement because it captures the specific operation and anatomical site.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A 62-year-old patient with longstanding symptomatic varicose veins of the right lower extremity presents for an inpatient elective procedure after conservative measures failed. The operative plan is removal of the diseased right saphenous vein using an open stripping technique to alleviate venous reflux and reduce recurrent ulceration risk. The procedure is performed as the primary operation during the hospital stay. Typical codes: 06DP0ZZ
A 48-year-old patient is admitted from the emergency department with acute, worsening pain and extensive superficial thrombophlebitis of the right great saphenous vein with septic features and failure of anticoagulation. To control infection and remove the diseased segment, the clinical team performs percutaneous extraction of the right saphenous vein as the principal inpatient procedure. This approach limits tissue disruption while addressing the acute infection source. Typical codes: 06DP3ZZ
A 70-year-old patient with previous right saphenous vein stripping develops recurrent venous insufficiency and persistent symptoms; during the inpatient admission for revision of venous disease, percutaneous endoscopic extraction of residual right saphenous vein segments is performed to remove remaining dysfunctional vein tissue. The endoscopic technique is used to visualize and extract residual segments as a secondary corrective operation during the stay. Typical codes: 06DP4ZZ
