Catheter Placement In A Major Chest Or Neck Artery Branch

Arizona rates for HCPCS 36215

A thin catheter is guided through the blood vessels, typically starting from an artery in the groin or arm, into a major first branch off the main chest artery, such as a vessel supplying the neck, arm, or head, to allow imaging or treatment of that vessel. Live x-ray imaging is used to confirm correct placement. It is a foundational step for a broader angiogram or catheter-based treatment in that region.
