ICD-10-PCS Code For Gastric Vein: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 06V2 includes procedures performed to restrict veins in the gastric vein. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a clinician partially closes the lumen of the gastric vein to reduce or control venous flow. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 06V2 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Gastric Vein Restriction Procedure Overview

Procedures in this group involve partially closing the lumen of the gastric vein within the lower venous system to restrict blood flow. These interventions target the lower veins and are used to reduce or control venous flow for clinical indications such as bleeding or portal hypertension complications. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding of these procedures is essential for inpatient reimbursement because it documents the specific operative action and body part, which affects case mix and payment.

2	Body Part	Gastric Vein

When to Use

Use a code from this group when a partial closure or restriction of the gastric vein lumen is performed during an inpatient procedure to control bleeding or alter venous flow. These codes apply when the operative report documents restriction as the root operation and identifies the gastric vein as the target body part.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A patient with cirrhosis and portal hypertension presents to the emergency department with acute hematemesis and active gastric variceal bleeding that fails endoscopic therapy; inpatient management includes a procedure to partially restrict flow through the gastric vein to reduce variceal pressure and control hemorrhage. The intervention is performed percutaneously under imaging guidance to limit venous flow while preserving some venous patency. Typical codes: 06V23CZ, 06V23DZ
An elective admission for a patient with recurrent gastric variceal bleeding despite medical therapy; the interventional plan is a scheduled percutaneous endoscopic procedure to place a device that partially narrows the gastric vein lumen to prevent future variceal episodes. The goal of the planned inpatient procedure is durable reduction of venous inflow to the varices while avoiding complete occlusion. Typical codes: 06V24CZ, 06V24DZ
A patient previously treated with a surgical open venous procedure returns with symptomatic partial restenosis of the gastric vein causing persistent variceal congestion; during the inpatient revision, the surgeon performs an open approach to re-restrict the gastric vein lumen using sutures or an external device to restore appropriate flow restriction. Typical codes: 06V20CZ, 06V20ZZ
