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

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 06FH includes procedures performed to fragment solid matter in the hypogastric vein, right. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when fragmentation of intravascular solid material in the lower veins is performed to facilitate removal or resolution of obstruction. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 06FH group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Hypogastric Vein, Right Fragmentation Procedure Overview

Procedures in this group involve fragmentation of solid material within the right hypogastric vein, a component of the lower venous system. These interventions break solid matter into pieces to facilitate removal or passage and target the lower veins. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding of these procedures ensures inpatient records reflect the specific operation and supports appropriate reimbursement and case mix assignment.

When to Use

Use a code from this group when a clinician performs fragmentation of solid material in the right hypogastric vein during an inpatient encounter. These codes apply when the primary operation is fragmentation rather than removal by en bloc extraction or other root operations.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An elderly hospitalized patient with known lower extremity deep vein thrombosis develops worsening unilateral pelvic venous congestion and persistent occlusive thrombus in the right hypogastric vein despite systemic anticoagulation; the patient has escalating pain and signs of impaired venous outflow prompting inpatient endovascular intervention to fragment the organized intraluminal clot to restore flow and facilitate adjunctive thrombus removal or lysis. Typical codes: 06FH3ZZ, 06FH3Z0.
A middle-aged patient scheduled for elective inpatient management of chronic pelvic venous insufficiency undergoes planned percutaneous endovascular treatment after imaging demonstrates focal, calcified intravascular material within the right hypogastric vein contributing to recurrent symptoms; fragmentation is performed during the procedure to break the solid material into pieces so it can be aspirated or treated with adjunctive therapy. Typical codes: 06FH3Z0, 06FH3ZZ.
A postoperative patient who previously had venous stenting presents acutely with acute-on-chronic obstruction of the right hypogastric vein due to organized thrombus adhering to the stent, causing limb swelling and compromised venous drainage; inpatient fragmentation of the embedded solid thrombotic material is performed percutaneously to debulk the obstruction and allow subsequent mechanical thrombectomy or revision. Typical codes: 06FH3ZZ, 06FH3Z0.
