Ultrasound From Inside A Blood Vessel

Minnesota rates for HCPCS 37250

An ultrasound picture taken from inside a blood vessel. A catheter with a tiny ultrasound sensor at its tip is passed into the vessel so the doctor can see the wall from within - how narrowed it is, what the build-up looks like, and whether a stent has opened out fully. This covers the first vessel examined this way during the procedure.
