Vermont rates for HCPCS 33017
Drains fluid built up in the sac around the heart by passing a needle and then a small tube through the chest wall, using ultrasound or X-ray to guide it. The tube is left in so fluid can keep draining over the following hours or days. This is the version for older children and adults who do not have a heart problem present from birth.
