Thrombolytic Therapy with Catheter Insertion

In this procedure, the provider inserts a catheter into an artery or a vein to infuse a thrombolytic medicine in the area of a vessel where a clot is present. The provider also performs the radiological supervision and interpretation necessary to perform the procedure. This code includes catheter contrast injection, position change, or replacement. Use this code for a subsequent treatment day during the course of thrombolytic therapy other than for a coronary vessel. This code also includes the cessation of thrombolytic therapy along with removal of the catheter and vessel closure by any method. Choose a location to see hospital-reported price summaries.
