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

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group X2CV includes procedures performed to remove solid or semi-solid matter from veins in the left lower extremity. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a clinician performs computer-aided mechanical aspiration, percutaneous extirpation of thrombus or other intravascular material from the left lower extremity vein. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS X2CV group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Left Lower Extremity Vein Extirpation Procedure Overview

Procedures in this group involve the extirpation of solid or semi-solid material from the left lower extremity venous system using computer-aided mechanical aspiration via a percutaneous approach. These procedures target the cardiovascular system and remove obstructing thrombus or other matter from veins to restore flow. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding is important for inpatient reimbursement because it documents the specific operation, approach, and device/technology used, which affects case mix and payment.

When to Use

Use a code from this group when a percutaneous computer-aided mechanical aspiration procedure is performed to remove thrombus or other obstructing material from a left lower extremity vein. Do not use these codes for open surgical thrombectomy or for procedures on veins in other anatomical locations.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A patient in their 60s presents to the emergency department with sudden unilateral left leg swelling, pain, and hypoxia after recent immobilization; duplex ultrasound confirms an extensive acute deep venous thrombosis of the left femoral and popliteal veins and the team proceeds with percutaneous computer‑aided mechanical aspiration to rapidly remove thrombus and restore venous flow during the inpatient admission. Typical codes: X2CV3T7
A middle‑aged hospitalized patient with malignancy develops progressive, subacute left lower extremity venous occlusion causing chronic pain and impaired wound healing despite anticoagulation; after multidisciplinary evaluation, a planned percutaneous computer‑aided mechanical aspiration is performed to debulk organized thrombus in the left lower extremity veins to improve venous drainage. Typical codes: X2CV3T7
A patient with recurrent left lower extremity edema after prior catheter‑directed therapy returns with persistent obstructive venous material on imaging and worsening venous hypertension; during the inpatient admission for a revision procedure, clinicians perform percutaneous computer‑aided mechanical aspiration to extirpate residual or recurrent thrombus from the left lower extremity vein.
