Imaging From Inside A Heart Artery, Extra Vessel

Minnesota rates for HCPCS 92979

A miniature imaging probe is threaded through a catheter into a further heart artery or bypass graft, beyond the first one already examined in the same session, to view the vessel wall from the inside using either sound waves or a light-based scan. The pictures show the true size of the vessel and what the narrowing is made of, guiding treatment in that vessel too. It is billed in addition to the main procedure.
