The doctor may repeat this a few times, each time pumping up the balloon a little more to widen the passage for the blood to flow through. This treatment may be repeated at each blocked site in the coronary arteries. A device called a stent may be placed within the coronary artery to keep the vessel open.

A stent is a small, metal mesh tube that acts as a scaffold to provide support inside the coronary artery. A balloon catheter, placed over a guide wire, is used to insert the stent into the narrowed artery. Once in place, the balloon is inflated and the stent expands to the size of the artery and holds it open. hc prq card stent w/angio 1 vsl: $12,529: cath lab: 48100060: hc prq card stent w/angio addl: $12,529: cath lab: 48100061: hc prq card stent/ath/angio: $18,990: cath lab: 48100062: hc prq card stent/ath/angio: $18,990: cath lab: 48100063: hc prq revasc byp graft 1 vsl: $12,529: cath lab: 48100064: hc prq revasc byp graft addl: $12,529: cath lab Coronary stents are now used in nearly all angioplasty procedures. A stent is a tiny, expandable metal mesh coil. It is put into the newly opened area of the artery to help keep the artery from narrowing or closing again. Once the stent has been placed, tissue will start to coat the stent like a layer of skin. njx pulmonary angio hrt cath w/s&i comment percutaneous coronary intervention (pci) 92920 prq cardiac angioplast 1 art 92921 prq cardiac angio addl art 92924 prq card angio/athrect 1 art 92925 prq card angio/athrect addl 92928 prq card stent w/angio 1 vsl 92929 prq card stent w/angio addl 92933 prq card stent/ath/angio 92934 92937 prq revasc 92928 Prq card stent w/angio 1 vsl * * * 0 -10.32% 92953 Temporary external pacing * * * 0 -48.59% 92979 Endoluminl ivus oct c ea * * * 0 25.47%
