OPS-Code 5-383.92:
Incision, excision and closure of blood vessels: Resection and replacement (interposition) of (parts of) blood vessels: V. pulmonalis

Veins are blood vessels that transport the blood back to the heart.
Sections of blood vessels may be removed, for example, if the blood vessel is enlarged there. A replacement, either from the person’s own body or an artificial one, can then be implanted into the blood vessel.
