Catheter Closure of a Hole Between Heart Chambers

Florida rates for HCPCS 93581

A thin tube is threaded through a blood vessel into the heart, and a small closure device is opened out across a hole in the wall between the two lower pumping chambers, sealing it. This avoids opening the chest and stopping the heart, as an open repair would need.
