Colic Vein Occlusion Procedure Overview
Procedures in this ICD-10-PCS group involve completely closing the lumen of the colic vein within the lower veins body system to stop blood flow through that vessel. These occlusion procedures target venous structures and may be performed to control bleeding, eliminate abnormal shunts, or prepare for other interventions.
