Open Heart Surgery: Aortic Valve Replacement
HCPCS 33405
Replacement, aortic valve, open, with cardiopulmonary bypass; with prosthetic valve other than homograft or stentless valve
AI EXPLANATION: Open heart aortic valve replacement is an inpatient surgical procedure to replace an aortic valve that is narrowed, leaking, or damaged. During the operation, a surgeon makes an incision in the chest to access the heart while a cardiopulmonary bypass machine temporarily takes over blood circulation and oxygenation. The surgeon removes the faulty valve and replaces it with an artificial prosthetic valve made from durable synthetic materials or animal tissue to restore healthy, normal blood flow.
