Repeat Open Heart Surgery

North Dakota rates for HCPCS 33530

Covers the extra work of opening the chest again for bypass or valve surgery more than a month after a previous heart operation. Scar tissue from the earlier surgery binds the heart to the breastbone and must be separated carefully before the operation can begin, which adds substantial time and risk. It is billed in addition to the bypass or valve operation actually performed.
