Catheter Blocking of a Head or Neck Vessel

Texas rates for HCPCS 61626

A thin tube is threaded through the blood vessels to a target vessel in the head or neck, outside the brain and spinal cord, and material is released to plug it permanently. Coils, particles, or a glue-like agent shut off blood flow through that vessel. It is used to stop bleeding, to cut off the blood supply to a tumor before surgery, or to seal an abnormal tangle of vessels.
