Atherectomy of the Abdominal Aorta

Colorado rates for HCPCS 0236T

A catheter is passed into the abdominal aorta — the main artery running down through the abdomen — and the hardened or fatty material narrowing it is cut or shaved away from inside the vessel. X-ray imaging guides the work, and the imaging supervision and interpretation are part of the service. Clearing the narrowing improves blood flow onward to the pelvis and legs.
