Aortic Valve Replacement Using The Patient's Own Valve

Washington rates for HCPCS 33440

Open-heart surgery in which a diseased aortic valve is replaced with the patient's own pulmonary valve, moved into that position. A donor valve is then placed where the pulmonary valve was. Using living tissue avoids lifelong blood-thinning medicine and allows the valve to grow with a child.
