ICD-10-PCS Code For Common Iliac Vein, Right: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 06FC includes procedures performed to fragment solid material in the common iliac vein, right. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a clinician breaks intraluminal thrombus or other solid obstructive material within the right common iliac vein to restore venous flow. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 06FC group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Common Iliac Vein, Right Fragmentation Procedure Overview

This procedure group includes inpatient fragmentation procedures performed on the right common iliac vein, a component of the lower venous system that returns blood from the pelvis and lower extremity to the heart. Procedures in this group involve breaking solid intraluminal material into smaller pieces within the vessel to restore or improve venous flow. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding of these fragmentation procedures is important for documenting the specific operation and for appropriate inpatient reimbursement.

When to Use

Use a code from this group when the clinical procedure involves breaking thrombus or other solid material within the right common iliac vein during an inpatient encounter. These codes apply when fragmentation is the primary root operation performed to address venous obstruction in that anatomical location.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A middle-aged patient presents to the emergency department with acute onset severe unilateral leg swelling, pain, and cyanosis after recent long-haul travel. Duplex ultrasound and CT venography demonstrate extensive occlusive thrombus confined to the right common iliac vein causing phlegmasia; inpatient mechanical fragmentation is performed urgently to break the thrombus and rapidly restore venous outflow and limb perfusion. Typical codes: 06FC3Z0, 06FC3ZZ
An older patient with chronic post-thrombotic syndrome and recurrent claudication is admitted electively for endovascular intervention after failing conservative therapy. Imaging shows organized chronic obstructive material in the right common iliac vein; during the planned inpatient procedure the operator performs percutaneous fragmentation of the intraluminal material to improve lumen patency as part of staged venous reconstruction. Typical codes: 06FC3Z0, 06FC3ZZ
A hospitalized patient develops worsening venous hypertension and edema days after pelvic fracture repair; venography reveals residual solid thrombotic material in the right common iliac vein that is not resolving with anticoagulation and is contributing to clinical deterioration. A percutaneous fragmentation procedure is undertaken as part of inpatient management to break the obstructing material and facilitate subsequent thrombus removal or adjunctive therapies. Typical codes: 06FC3ZZ, 06FC3Z0
