ICD-10-PCS Code For Lower Lobe Bronchus, Right: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 0BV6 includes procedures performed to restrict the lumen of the lower lobe bronchus on the right in the respiratory system. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a partial closure or restriction of the right lower lobe bronchus is performed to control airflow or treat localized pathology. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 0BV6 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Lower Lobe Bronchus, Right Restriction Procedure Overview

Procedures in this group involve partially closing the lumen of the right lower lobe bronchus to restrict airflow or passage within the respiratory system. These procedures target the respiratory system and specifically the lower lobe bronchus on the right. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding ensures inpatient records reflect the exact restriction procedure performed and supports appropriate reimbursement and clinical data integrity.

When to Use

Use a code from this group when a clinician performs a deliberate partial restriction of the right lower lobe bronchus to manage airflow or local pathologic conditions. These codes apply when the operation meets the ICD-10-PCS definition of restriction rather than other root operations such as occlusion, excision, or dilation.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An adult patient presents to the emergency department with massive hemoptysis localized to the right lower lobe on bronchoscopy after recurrent alveolar hemorrhage from a known bronchiectatic segment. Bleeding control is accomplished by surgically placing an external constrictive band around the right lower lobe bronchus to partially restrict airflow and reduce hemorrhage while preserving distal lung tissue. The operation is performed via an open thoracotomy in an acute setting to achieve rapid hemostasis. Typical codes: 0BV60CZ
A middle-aged patient with severe, localized bronchiectasis of the right lower lobe and recurrent infection despite medical therapy is scheduled electively for a bronchial lumen–narrowing procedure to limit airflow to the diseased segment and reduce recurrent sputum pooling. Using a percutaneous endoscopic approach, the interventional team deploys an intraluminal device to partially restrict the right lower lobe bronchus and decrease infectious exacerbations while avoiding lobectomy. The procedure is planned after multidisciplinary evaluation. Typical codes: 0BV64DZ
A patient previously treated with a bronchial stent for air-leak control in the right lower lobe now develops persistent symptomatic air trapping and stent-related granulation requiring revision. During a percutaneous procedure the team removes the stent and places an extraluminal constrictive device to achieve partial lumen restriction of the right lower lobe bronchus and address the complication without full occlusion. This inpatient revision targets symptomatic improvement and prevention of further airway complications. Typical codes: 0BV63CZ
