These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a clinician surgically or mechanically frees the hepatic vein from abnormal physical constraints such as adhesions, scar tissue, or other obstructing tissue.

Hepatic Vein Release Procedure Overview
Procedures in this group involve releasing an abnormal physical constraint of the hepatic vein by cutting or using force, targeting the lower veins body system. These operations free the hepatic vein from scar tissue, adhesions, or other obstructing structures to restore normal venous flow. Accurate coding of these release procedures is important for inpatient reimbursement because it documents the invasive intervention on the lower veins and supports appropriate case mix assignment.
