HCPCS 37244

Vascular embolization or occlusion, inclusive of all radiological supervision and interpretation, intraprocedural roadmapping, and imaging guidance necessary to complete the intervention; for arterial or venous hemorrhage or lymphatic extravasation

AI EXPLANATION: Vascular embolization is a minimally invasive procedure used to close off or block blood vessels or lymphatic channels to stop active bleeding or fluid leaks. Guided by real-time imaging such as X-rays, a doctor threads a tiny catheter through the blood vessels to the site of bleeding. Small specialized materials, such as tiny coils, medical plugs, or liquid agents, are then released through the tube to seal the damaged vessel.
