Balloon Widening of the Pulmonary Heart Valve

Michigan rates for HCPCS 92990

This procedure widens a narrowed pulmonary valve, the valve controlling blood flow from the heart to the lungs, by threading a catheter with a deflated balloon to the valve and inflating it to stretch the opening. It is done without open-heart surgery, using imaging to guide the catheter through a blood vessel to the heart. It is used to treat pulmonary valve stenosis, a narrowing that makes the heart work harder to pump blood to the lungs.
