Mitral Valve Repair With A Support Ring

Louisiana rates for HCPCS 33426

Repairs the mitral valve, which sits between the upper and lower chambers on the left side of the heart, and stitches a support ring around the valve opening to reshape it and hold it at the right size. It is done with the patient supported on a heart-lung machine. Repairing and supporting the valve stops blood leaking backwards with every beat.
