Complex Open Repair of the Aortic Valve

Alaska rates for HCPCS 33391

Open-heart repair of the aortic valve, the outlet valve between the heart and the body's main artery, done with the heart stopped while a heart-lung machine takes over the circulation. This is the more involved version, in which the valve leaflets or the ring they sit in have to be rebuilt rather than simply trimmed or resuspended. Your own valve is preserved instead of being replaced with an artificial one.
