ICD-10-PCS Code For Left Anterior Tibial Artery: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group X2HQ includes procedures performed to insert temporary intraluminal devices into the anterior tibial artery, left. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a temporary nonbiological appliance is placed percutaneously to monitor, assist, perform, or prevent a physiological function in the left anterior tibial artery. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS X2HQ group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific insertion procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Left Anterior Tibial Artery Insertion Procedure Overview

Procedures in this group involve the insertion of temporary intraluminal devices into the left anterior tibial artery using a percutaneous approach and target the cardiovascular system. These procedures place nonbiological appliances that monitor, assist, perform, or prevent a physiological function without replacing a body part. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding ensures the inpatient record reflects the specific insertion procedure performed and supports appropriate case mix assignment and payment.

ICD-10-PCS Code	Description
X2HQ38B	Insertion of Temporary Intraluminal Device into Left Anterior Tibial Artery, Percutaneous Approach, New Technology Group 11

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An elderly patient with critical limb ischemia due to progressive peripheral arterial disease presents with rest pain and threatened tissue loss of the left foot after failed conservative therapy; inpatient vascular intervention is planned to temporarily restore perfusion while assessing for revascularization options, so a percutaneous temporary intraluminal device is inserted into the left anterior tibial artery to assist distal blood flow and monitor perfusion. Typical codes: X2HQ38B
A middle-aged patient admitted urgently with acute left lower-extremity ischemia from an embolus causing severe pain and diminished distal pulses; after embolectomy is not immediately definitive, a percutaneous temporary intraluminal device is placed in the left anterior tibial artery to maintain lumen patency and support limb perfusion during stabilization and ongoing anticoagulation. Typical codes: X2HQ38B
A patient previously treated with temporary intraluminal support for ischemia returns inpatient with recurrent compromise of distal perfusion after device malfunction; the clinical team removes the malfunctioning device and places a new percutaneous temporary intraluminal device in the left anterior tibial artery to reestablish adequate flow while planning definitive therapy. Typical codes: X2HQ38B
