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

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group X2CR includes procedures performed to remove solid matter from the cardiovascular system in the left upper extremity veins. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when an extirpation of matter from a left upper extremity vein is performed, typically via a percutaneous, computer-aided mechanical aspiration technique. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS X2CR group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Left Upper Extremity Vein Extirpation Procedure Overview

Procedures in this group involve the removal or aspiration of solid matter from the left upper extremity veins and target the cardiovascular system. These extirpation procedures are typically performed percutaneously using computer-aided mechanical aspiration or similar devices. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding of these procedures ensures inpatient records reflect the extirpation operation and supports appropriate case mix assignment and reimbursement.

When to Use

Use a code from this group when an extirpation of matter is performed on the left upper extremity vein via a percutaneous mechanical aspiration method. These codes apply when the operation specifically removes solid intravascular material rather than performing other vascular interventions.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An adult patient presents to the emergency department with an acute upper extremity deep venous thrombosis complicated by occlusive thrombus in the left basilic and cephalic veins causing worsening arm swelling, pain, and threatened venous outflow; systemic anticoagulation alone is judged insufficient, and inpatient percutaneous mechanical aspiration using a computer-aided device is performed to rapidly remove solid thrombus from the left upper extremity vein to restore flow. Typical codes: X2CR3T7.
A hospitalized patient with chronic dialysis catheter-associated fibrin sheath and organized thrombotic material within the left subclavian/axillary venous segment has persistent catheter dysfunction despite thrombolytic therapy; a planned inpatient percutaneous, computer-aided mechanical aspiration is undertaken to extirpate the solid obstructing material from the left upper extremity vein and salvage vascular access. Typical codes: X2CR3T7.
A patient develops recurrent symptomatic venous stenosis after prior endovascular repair, with residual organized thrombus and intravascular debris in the left upper extremity vein causing recurrent embolic symptoms; during a revision inpatient procedure, percutaneous computer-aided mechanical aspiration is used to physically remove the solid matter before adjunctive interventions. Typical codes: X2CR3T7.
