Surgery To Open A Narrowed Pulmonary Valve

North Carolina rates for HCPCS 33471

An operation to widen the valve between the heart's right pumping chamber and the artery carrying blood to the lungs, when that valve is too tight for blood to pass through properly. The fused valve leaflets are cut apart so the valve opens fully again. The narrowing being treated is usually one the person was born with.
