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

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 06UB includes procedures performed to supplement veins in the left renal vein. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when material is placed on or in the left renal vein to reinforce or augment its function. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 06UB group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Renal Vein, Left Supplement Procedure Overview

Procedures in this group involve placing biological or synthetic material to reinforce or augment the function of the left renal vein within the lower veins body system. The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System procedures coded to ICD-10 PCS 06UB reflect supplements applied to the left renal vein to support venous structure or flow. Accurate coding ensures inpatient records reflect the specific operation and body part treated, which affects reimbursement and case mix assignment.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An adult patient is admitted emergently with a traumatic laceration to the left renal vein from a penetrating flank injury with active venous bleeding and partial venous wall loss. During open surgical exploration, the vascular surgeon uses the patient’s own nearby autologous tissue to patch and reinforce the damaged segment of the left renal vein to restore hemostasis and venous continuity. The supplement operation is performed via an open approach because of the need for direct control of hemorrhage and vessel repair. Typical codes: 06UB07Z
A middle-aged patient with progressive left renal vein compression (nutcracker phenomenon) and debilitating flank pain undergoes a planned operative procedure to restore venous outflow. The vascular team elects to place a synthetic graft material on the left renal vein to augment and reinforce the constricted segment via a percutaneous endoscopic approach after evaluation in clinic and preoperative imaging. The procedure is performed electively to improve venous drainage and relieve symptoms. Typical codes: 06UB4JZ
A patient previously treated for left renal vein thrombosis with an implanted nonautologous patch presents with recurrent stenosis and impaired renal perfusion. During a revision percutaneous procedure, the interventional team removes or overlays the prior material and places a new nonautologous tissue substitute to reinforce the vein and restore lumen patency. The supplemental placement is done percutaneously to correct the prior repair failure and improve venous flow. Typical codes: 06UB3KZ
