Gradual Closure Of A Neck Artery

North Carolina rates for HCPCS 37606

Surgery that closes off one of the main arteries in the neck using an adjustable clamp placed around the vessel. The clamp is tightened in stages over days rather than all at once, so the brain has time to build up flow through other vessels. It is used when an artery must be shut down, for example because of an aneurysm or an injury that cannot be repaired directly.
