Blocking A Spinal Blood Vessel Malformation

South Dakota rates for HCPCS 62294

A procedure in which a fine tube is threaded along an artery to an abnormal tangle of blood vessels supplying the spinal cord, and material is injected to seal it off from the inside. Blocking the tangle reduces the risk of bleeding and relieves the strain it puts on the cord's blood supply. It is done through a puncture in a blood vessel rather than by opening the back.
