Catheter Reshaping Of A Heart Valve Ring

South Carolina rates for HCPCS 0544T

Reshapes the ring of tissue that surrounds a leaking heart valve, using an adjustable band delivered on a thin tube threaded through a blood vessel rather than by opening the chest. Drawing the band tighter narrows the stretched ring so the valve leaflets meet again and less blood leaks backwards.
