Coronary Plaque Light Analysis

California rates for HCPCS 0205T

During a heart catheterization, a catheter passed inside a heart artery shines light onto the vessel wall and reads the reflected pattern to work out what the plaque there is made of. Knowing whether a deposit is fatty and unstable helps the cardiologist decide how to treat it.
