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

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 06FQ includes procedures performed to fragment solid matter in the saphenous vein, left. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when fragmentation of intravascular solid material is performed in the left saphenous vein to restore or improve venous flow. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 06FQ group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific procedure performed and the exact anatomical site.

Saphenous Vein, Left Fragmentation Procedure Overview

Procedures in this ICD-10-PCS group involve fragmentation of solid material within the left saphenous vein and target the lower veins body system. Fragmentation breaks intravascular solid matter into smaller pieces to restore or improve venous flow. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding of these procedures supports correct inpatient documentation and reimbursement by capturing the specific operation and anatomical site.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An elderly patient presents to the hospital with acute swelling, pain, and erythema of the left lower extremity caused by an occlusive thrombus confined to the left great saphenous vein identified on duplex ultrasound. Because the thrombus is obstructing venous outflow and causing significant symptoms despite anticoagulation, the interventional team performs percutaneous fragmentation of the intravascular clot to restore flow and relieve venous hypertension. The approach is percutaneous and uses ultrasonic fragmentation technology to break the thrombus into smaller pieces for aspiration or dispersion. Typical codes: 06FQ3Z0
A middle-aged patient with chronic venous stasis and recurrent episodes of superficial thrombosis in the left great saphenous vein is admitted for an elective endovenous procedure after failure of conservative therapy. The planned intervention includes percutaneous fragmentation of organized intravascular material in the left saphenous vein to improve venous outflow as part of a staged treatment strategy. The procedure is performed percutaneously without use of a device qualifier beyond the fragmentation itself. Typical codes: 06FQ3ZZ
A patient previously treated with catheter-directed thrombectomy for a left saphenous vein thrombus develops residual organized clot and recurrent symptoms during the inpatient recovery period. A repeat percutaneous fragmentation is performed to break up remaining solid material that is impeding venous drainage and to avoid further invasive surgery. The procedure targets the left saphenous vein via a percutaneous approach and may be chosen as a revision of the initial intervention. Typical codes: 06FQ3ZZ
