37241: Vascular embolization or occlusion venous; other than hemorrhage

• Esophageal, gastric, or visceral varices due to portal hypertension. Treatment can be with coils, plugs, or balloon occlusion.

• Micro or macrocytic lymphatic malformations with direct access and injecting alcohol or other sclerosant/embolic agent.

• Superficial venous malformation of the face by direct access and injecting alcohol, STS, or other sclerosant.

• Direct needle access into head and neck venous abnormalities (e.g. facial or tongue venous malformations).

37242: Vascular embolization or occlusion arterial; other than hemorrhage or tumor

• Pulmonary arterial or arteriovenous malformations (non-hemorrhagic)

• Bronchial artery embolization (non-hemorrhage)

• Embolization of endoleaks post EVAR

• Uterine artery embolization for fibroids

• TACE: transarterial chemoembolization

• TARE: transarterial radioembolization (SIR-spheres or Theraspheres)

• Any organ or tumor embolization, benign or malignant

• Direct needle access into head and neck tumors (e.g. carotid body tumor, glomus tumor).

37244: Vascular embolization or occlusion; arterial or venous hemorrhage or lymphatic extravasation

• Gastric or gastroesophageal artery embolization for esophageal hemorrhage

• Mesenteric artery embolization for GI bleeding

• Bronchial artery embolization for hemoptysis
