Ultrasound Guidance For Heart Biopsy

North Dakota rates for HCPCS 76932

This covers the use of real-time ultrasound imaging of the heart to help a doctor safely guide a biopsy device to take a small sample of heart tissue. The imaging lets the physician see the heart's structures directly while positioning the biopsy instrument, which helps improve accuracy and safety.
