Esophageal Dilation Without A Scope

Nevada rates for HCPCS 43450

This procedure stretches a narrowed section of the esophagus by passing a smooth, tapered dilating instrument down the throat, guided by feel rather than through direct visualization with an endoscope or with imaging. Widening the narrowed area helps relieve difficulty or discomfort with swallowing caused by strictures or scar tissue. It may be repeated with progressively larger dilators during the same session.
