Ultrasound-Guided Vein Closure With Injected Foam

Louisiana rates for HCPCS 36465

This procedure treats a diseased vein in the leg by injecting a specially prepared foam medication directly into it under ultrasound guidance, causing the vein to close off and eventually be reabsorbed by the body. It treats a single problem vein along the leg using this injection-based approach rather than a heat-based catheter treatment.
