Rerouting Blood To The Lungs In A Single-Chamber Heart

South Carolina rates for HCPCS 33615

Major open-heart surgery for a child born with a heart that has only one effective pumping chamber. The opening between the upper chambers is closed and the returning blood is connected directly to the artery leading to the lungs, so it flows onward to pick up oxygen without needing to be pumped by the heart. The heart-lung bypass machine takes over circulation while the reconstruction is carried out.
