Dialysis Access Vessel Occlusion

Alabama rates for HCPCS 36909

This procedure permanently blocks off a blood vessel within a dialysis access site, such as an arteriovenous fistula or graft used for dialysis. It is done using a catheter threaded through the blood vessels, guided by imaging, rather than open surgery. Blocking off an unwanted branch vessel helps redirect blood flow through the main access, improving how well the site works for dialysis.
