ICD-10-PCS 06C Medical and Surgical: Lower Veins Extirpation
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Extirpation (code 06C) refers to the removal of solid matter, such as a thrombus or embolus, from a body part. Specifically, in the Medical and Surgical section focused on Lower Veins, this operation targets the clearance of obstructive intravascular material to restore normal blood flow.
This operation is coded according to the exact vein involved and the approach used. Examples include extirpation of matter from the Inferior Vena Cava via an Open Approach (06C00ZZ
) or through a minimally invasive Percutaneous or Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach (06C03ZZ
, 06C04ZZ
). Similar codes cover removal from veins such as the Splenic, Gastric, Hepatic, Renal, and Femoral veins. The detailed classification allows accurate documentation of the procedure based on the vein location and surgical technique, which is crucial for clinical records and billing.
