Tying Off a Major Artery to Stop Bleeding

Kentucky rates for HCPCS 37618

Closes a large artery with a suture so blood no longer flows through it. Through an incision the surgeon exposes the vessel and ties it shut, most often to control severe bleeding after an injury or a rupture, or when the vessel is infected and cannot be repaired. Blood then reaches the tissue beyond through smaller neighbouring vessels.
