Summary & Overview
ICD-10-PCS Code For Right Renal Vein: Procedure Code Group Overview
The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group 06C9 includes procedures performed to take or cut out solid matter from the right renal vein. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when removal of thrombus or other obstructive solid material from the right renal venous circulation is performed. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS 06C9 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and determines appropriate case mix and payment.

Typical Clinical Scenarios
- An adult patient with acute flank pain and gross hematuria presents to the emergency department; imaging reveals a large renal vein thrombosis with extension and persistent bleeding despite anticoagulation, necessitating urgent inpatient intervention to remove obstructing or clotted material from the right renal vein to restore venous outflow and control hemorrhage. Typical codes:
06C90ZZ,06C93ZZ - A middle-aged patient with a history of renal cell carcinoma undergoes a planned inpatient procedure because preoperative imaging shows tumor thrombus invading the right renal vein; during the elective surgical resection, solid tumor material is intentionally removed from the right renal vein as part of tumor extirpation to achieve local control and allow reconstruction. Typical codes:
06C94ZZ,06C93ZZ - A postoperative inpatient who previously had right renal vein repair returns with signs of venous congestion and persistent clot noted on vascular imaging; a secondary, non-emergent procedure is performed to extract organized thrombus or scar tissue from the right renal vein to relieve obstruction and prevent loss of kidney function.
