Catheter Implant In The Heart's Draining Vein

South Carolina rates for HCPCS 0645T

Implants a small narrowing device in the large vein that drains blood away from the heart muscle, delivered on a thin tube threaded along a vein so the chest is not opened. Deliberately narrowing that vein raises pressure in the heart muscle's small vessels and pushes blood toward poorly supplied areas, which can ease chest pain from angina.
