Splenic Artery Occlusion Procedure Overview
Procedures in this group involve percutaneous endoscopic techniques to completely close the lumen of the splenic artery, a vessel in the lower arterial system. These interventions target the lower arteries to achieve occlusion of the splenic artery for therapeutic control of blood flow. Accurate coding of these occlusion procedures is important for inpatient reimbursement because it documents the specific vessel treated and the definitive root operation performed, which affects case mix and payment.
