CPT® Code 37241

Vascular embolization or occlusion, inclusive of all radiological supervision and interpretation, intraprocedural roadmapping, and imaging guidance necessary to complete the intervention; venous, other than hemorrhage (eg, congenital or acquired venous malformations, venous and capillary hemangiomas, varices, varicoceles)

The CPT® Code 37241 refers to a specific medical procedure known as vascular embolization or occlusion. This procedure is performed to block or close off a blood vessel, particularly in cases involving venous conditions that are not related to hemorrhage. The conditions that may necessitate this intervention include congenital or acquired venous malformations, venous and capillary hemangiomas, varices, and varicoceles. The procedure is comprehensive, as it includes all necessary radiological supervision and interpretation, as well as intraprocedural roadmapping and imaging guidance to ensure the intervention is completed successfully. The use of imaging techniques, such as angiography, is critical in identifying the affected blood vessel and determining the most effective approach for occlusion or embolization. This procedure is essential in managing various vascular abnormalities, providing a minimally invasive option to treat conditions that could lead to complications if left untreated.
