Aortic Valve Replacement With Donor Valve

Pennsylvania rates for HCPCS 33406

Open-heart surgery that removes a damaged aortic valve and replaces it with a valve taken from a human donor. The heart is stopped and a heart-lung machine takes over circulation while the new valve is sewn into place. A donor valve avoids the need for lifelong blood thinning medicine that a mechanical valve requires.
