Dilate R Subclav Vn w Cel Impermabl Dev , Perc, New Tech 11

This code describes a procedure where a physician widens a narrowed right subclavian vein using a specialized, non-porous device inserted through the skin. This device is designed to remain within the vessel lumen without allowing cells to pass through its structure, representing an advanced technology in vascular intervention.

This code is appropriate for reporting the percutaneous dilation of a stenosed right subclavian vein when a cell-impermeable intraluminal device is utilized. This might occur in cases of subclavian vein thrombosis or compression syndrome requiring re-establishment of blood flow using this specific type of new technology.

• Verify that the documentation explicitly states the use of a "cell impermeable" intraluminal device and specifies "New Technology Group 11."
• Ensure the approach is documented as percutaneous and the vessel treated is the "right subclavian vein."
• Do not use this code if a standard balloon angioplasty or a different type of intraluminal device (e.g., a stent that is not cell impermeable) was used.
