Stent Placed In An Artery Inside The Brain

Illinois rates for HCPCS 61635

Threads a catheter up to a narrowed artery inside the skull and leaves a small metal mesh tube in place to hold the vessel open, stretching the narrowing with a balloon first if needed. Keeping the artery open restores blood flow to the brain and reduces the risk of a stroke. The whole procedure is done from inside the blood vessels, without opening the skull.
