Spinal Cord Vessel Malformation Surgery

Idaho rates for HCPCS 63252

Spine surgery in which part of the bony arch of the vertebrae is removed to reach an abnormal tangle of arteries and veins on or within the spinal cord, which is then taken out or closed off. It is performed where the mid-back meets the lower back. Treating the tangle protects the cord from bleeding and from the loss of function that comes from its disturbed blood supply.
