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

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 06FJ includes procedures performed to fragment solid matter in the hypogastric vein, left in the lower venous system. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when fragmentation of thrombus or other obstructive material in the left hypogastric vein is performed to restore flow or prepare for removal. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 06FJ group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific procedure performed and the exact body part treated.

Hypogastric Vein, Left Fragmentation Procedure Overview

Procedures in this ICD-10-PCS code group involve fragmentation of thrombus, calcifications, or other solid material within the left hypogastric vein, a component of the lower venous system. Fragmentation breaks solid matter into smaller pieces to restore venous flow or facilitate removal. These procedures target the lower veins and are documented in inpatient records using specific ICD-10-PCS codes. Accurate coding supports appropriate inpatient reimbursement by reflecting the precise operation and body part treated.

When to Use

Use codes from this group when a surgeon or interventionalist performs fragmentation of thrombus, plaque, or other solid material inside the left hypogastric vein during an inpatient encounter. Do not use this group for procedures on other veins or for operations whose root operation is not fragmentation.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A middle-aged patient presents to the hospital with acute unilateral lower extremity swelling and pain after recent pelvic surgery. Duplex ultrasound and CT venography demonstrate an occlusive thrombus in the left hypogastric vein impeding venous outflow; endovascular fragmentation is undertaken percutaneously using an ultrasonic catheter to break the clot and restore flow prior to anticoagulation. The ultrasonic percutaneous fragmentation targets solid thrombus within the left hypogastric vein to rapidly reduce obstruction in the inpatient setting. Typical codes: 06FJ3Z0
An older patient with chronic pelvic venous congestion and recurrent left-sided lower extremity edema undergoes a planned inpatient endovascular procedure after failed medical therapy. Imaging shows organized, partially calcified material within the left hypogastric vein; a percutaneous fragmentation procedure is performed to break the solid deposits and improve venous drainage as part of a staged treatment plan. The intervention is elective and performed under controlled conditions to facilitate subsequent angioplasty or thrombectomy if needed. Typical codes: 06FJ3ZZ
A patient previously treated with systemic anticoagulation for left pelvic deep vein thrombosis returns with persistent venous obstruction on follow-up imaging and recurrent symptoms despite medical therapy. During the inpatient procedure the interventionalist performs percutaneous fragmentation of residual, organized thrombus within the left hypogastric vein to break remaining solid material and enable adjunctive removal or stent placement. This represents a revision of prior nonoperative management to address refractory intraluminal obstruction. Typical codes: 06FJ3ZZ
