Right Pulmonary Artery Dilation Procedure Overview
Procedures in this ICD-10-PCS group involve dilation of the right pulmonary artery using intraluminal devices and are performed on the cardiovascular system. These interventions expand the lumen of the pulmonary artery to improve blood flow and relieve stenosis or obstruction.
