HCPCS 37243

Vascular embolization or occlusion, inclusive of all radiological supervision and interpretation, intraprocedural roadmapping, and imaging guidance necessary to complete the intervention; for tumors, organ ischemia, or infarction

AI EXPLANATION: Vascular embolization is a minimally invasive procedure used to deliberately block or close off blood vessels. Using real-time imaging guidance, a physician inserts a thin tube called a catheter into a blood vessel and delivers specialized materials, such as tiny particles, plugs, or coils, directly to the targeted area. This stops or reduces blood flow to treat tumors, control abnormal tissue growth, or prevent excessive bleeding.
