Removing a Clot From a Leg Artery

Alaska rates for HCPCS 34201

Opens an artery in the leg through an incision and extracts a clot or an embolus that has lodged there and cut off blood flow, usually by drawing a small balloon-tipped catheter back along the vessel. It covers the large arteries running from the pelvis down through the thigh and behind the knee. Restoring flow quickly is what saves the limb.
