Typical Clinical Scenarios

An elderly patient with chronic venous insufficiency and recurrent ulceration of the right foot is admitted for worsening pain, cellulitis, and failure of conservative therapy including compression and sclerotherapy; inpatient extraction of a segment of the right foot vein is performed to remove the diseased venous segment contributing to ulcer persistence and infection control. Typical codes: 06DT0ZZ, 06DT3ZZ
A middle-aged patient presents urgently with acute onset of severe right foot pain and signs of venous thrombosis after trauma to the foot; imaging demonstrates a thrombosed superficial right foot vein inaccessible to anticoagulation alone, and inpatient extraction by a percutaneous approach is performed to remove the obstructing venous segment and relieve ischemic symptoms. Typical codes: 06DT3ZZ
A patient with prior endovenous procedures on the right foot returns for treatment of recurrent varicosities and symptomatic venous congestion after failed previous interventions; during an elective inpatient revision, the surgeon performs stripping of the residual right foot vein using endoscopic assistance to remove remaining diseased tissue and reduce recurrence risk. Typical codes: 06DT4ZZ
