ICD-10-PCS Code For Inferior Vena Cava: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group X2H0 includes procedures performed to insert nonbiological appliances that monitor, assist, perform, or prevent physiological function in the inferior vena cava. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a device is placed into the inferior vena cava to provide monitoring, mechanical assistance, or physiological support without replacing the vessel. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS X2H0 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the device insertion performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Inferior Vena Cava Insertion Procedure Overview

The procedures in this group involve insertion of nonbiological appliances into the inferior vena cava and target the cardiovascular system. These ICD-10-PCS X2H0 procedures place devices that monitor, assist, perform, or prevent physiological function without replacing a body part. Accurate coding of these insertions supports correct inpatient reimbursement by reflecting the device insertion and clinical services provided. Precision in code selection also ensures accurate clinical documentation and case mix assignment.

When to Use

Use a code from this group when an appliance is inserted into the inferior vena cava to monitor or support cardiovascular physiology. Select the specific X2H0 code that matches the type of device and insertion approach documented in the operative record.

ICD-10-PCS Codes

2 rows

ICD-10-PCS Code	Description
X2H03BB	Insertion of Volume Sensor Management Device into Inferior Vena Cava, Percutaneous Approach, New Technology Group 11
X2H03R9	Insertion of Intraluminal Device, Bioprosthetic Valve into Inferior Vena Cava, Percutaneous Approach, New Technology Group 9

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An elderly patient with recurrent, large-volume pulmonary emboli despite anticoagulation is admitted to the hospital after acute dyspnea and hypoxia. Imaging shows contraindications to continued anticoagulation and high risk for further embolic events; an inferior vena cava–directed device is placed percutaneously to prevent thromboemboli from reaching the pulmonary circulation. Typical codes: X2H03BB, X2H03R9
A middle-aged patient undergoes planned endovascular therapy for chronic venous thromboembolic disease and requires intra-caval hemodynamic monitoring during a staged reconstructive procedure. Inpatient insertion of a device into the inferior vena cava via a percutaneous approach provides continuous physiologic monitoring and supports management during the elective operative admission. Typical codes: X2H03BB
A patient returning after prior caval device placement presents with device dysfunction and recurrent venous congestion; during the inpatient admission the team removes the malfunctioning appliance and inserts a new intraluminal device into the inferior vena cava to restore function. Because the replacement is performed percutaneously during the hospital stay, an insertion code for the new appliance is used. Typical codes: X2H03R9, X2H03BB
