Tying Off A Misconnected Heart Artery

Georgia rates for HCPCS 33502

Closes off a coronary artery that is attached to the lung artery instead of the aorta, a defect present from birth that lets blood drain away from the heart muscle rather than supplying it. The surgeon ties the misconnected vessel shut so blood is no longer siphoned off. It is open chest surgery under general anesthesia, usually done in infancy or childhood.
