Chest Telescope With Biopsy Of Heart Sac

Hawaii rates for HCPCS 32604

A thin telescope with a camera is passed through a small incision between the ribs so the surgeon can look inside the chest, and a piece of the sac surrounding the heart is taken for testing. The sample is examined in a laboratory to find the cause of fluid build-up, inflammation, or suspected cancer. It avoids the larger incision needed for open chest surgery.
