Medicare pays $644 on average nationally for this procedure.

CPT code 92945 describes percutaneous recanalization of a chronic total occlusion (CTO) of a single major coronary artery, branch, or coronary artery bypass graft using both antegrade and retrograde crossing techniques, with possible use of angioplasty, stent placement, and/or atherectomy; this is an endovascular coronary intervention typically performed by interventional cardiology teams in the cardiac catheterization laboratory or similar procedural/surgical suite and is billed as a single-vessel CTO revascularization procedure.
