ICD-10-PCS Code For Right Upper Extremity: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group X2CQ includes procedures performed to extirpate solid matter from veins in the right upper extremity. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when mechanical aspiration with computer-aided assistance is used to remove thrombus or other obstructing material from a right upper extremity vein. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS X2CQ group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Right Upper Extremity Vein Extirpation Procedure Overview

Procedures in this group involve the extirpation of solid matter from right upper extremity veins using computer-aided mechanical aspiration via a percutaneous approach. These procedures target the cardiovascular system and remove thrombus, emboli, or other obstructive material to restore venous flow. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding is important for inpatient reimbursement because it documents the specific operation, approach, and technology used. Precise coding supports correct case mix assignment and payment.

When to Use

Use a code from this group when a clinician performs percutaneous computer-aided mechanical aspiration to remove thrombus or other solid material from a right upper extremity vein. Assign these codes for inpatient records when the documented procedure matches the extirpation operation, body part, approach, and new technology attributes of the code group.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An elderly hospitalized patient with acute swelling, pain, and erythema of the right forearm and upper arm after a recent central venous catheter placement is found on duplex ultrasound to have an occlusive thrombus within the right basilic and axillary veins; because systemic anticoagulation alone is insufficient and there is threatened venous outflow with limb ischemic symptoms, percutaneous computer-aided mechanical aspiration is performed to remove the thrombus and restore flow. Typical codes: X2CQ3T7
A middle-aged patient with recurrent episodes of right upper extremity deep venous thrombosis related to chronic dialysis fistula dysfunction is scheduled as an inpatient for an interventional procedure to clear organized thrombus within the right cephalic vein that has failed prior thrombolytic therapy; a planned percutaneous computer-aided mechanical aspiration is used to extirpate the solid obstructing material and re-establish access. Typical codes: X2CQ3T7
A postoperative inpatient develops sudden increase in swelling and pain of the right arm with signs of venous congestion after orthopedic shoulder surgery; imaging identifies acute thrombus in a right upper extremity vein causing compromised venous drainage, prompting urgent percutaneous computer-aided mechanical aspiration to rapidly remove thrombus and prevent further complications.
