Catheter Aortic Valve Replacement

North Carolina rates for HCPCS 33366

Replacement of a narrowed aortic valve without taking the old valve out, using a replacement valve delivered on a catheter and expanded inside the diseased one. The catheter reaches the heart through a route opened surgically rather than the chest being opened widely, and the heart keeps beating throughout. It is offered mainly to people for whom conventional open valve surgery would carry a high risk.
