Stent In An Extra Branch Of A Heart Artery

California rates for HCPCS 92929

Covers placing a stent, a small mesh tube that props a narrowed artery open, in a further branch coming off a heart artery that has already been treated in the same session. A catheter carries the stent to the narrowing and expands it there to restore blood flow. It is billed in addition to the main procedure; a blockage in a separate major heart artery counts as its own main procedure rather than falling under this one.
