Rhode Island rates for HCPCS 47541

Using needles, wires and X-ray guidance, a route is made through the skin and liver into the bile ducts and onward into the small intestine. A wire left along that route lets a doctor working with a scope from the mouth find and enter a bile duct that could not be reached from below. Contrast pictures of the ducts are taken as part of the work.
