Bile Duct Scope With Valve Pressure Measurement

Alaska rates for HCPCS 43263

A flexible camera is passed through the mouth down to the point where the bile and pancreatic ducts drain into the small intestine, and a fine tube measures the pressure inside the muscular valve controlling that opening. Abnormally high pressure in this valve can cause pain that mimics gallbladder or pancreas disease. The measurement helps decide whether treatment directed at the valve is likely to help.
