Balloon Widening Of A Central Vein For Dialysis

Rhode Island rates for HCPCS 36907

Opens a narrowing in one of the large veins near the chest that carry blood away from a dialysis access, using a balloon on the tip of a catheter threaded through the dialysis circuit itself. Clearing that narrowing restores flow so the fistula or graft keeps working for dialysis. It is an added step taken during a larger dialysis-access procedure and is billed in addition to the main procedure.
