Catheter-Placed Passage Inside The Heart

Kansas rates for HCPCS 33746

Creates a new opening inside the heart without opening the chest. A thin tube is threaded through a blood vessel up to the heart and a small mesh stent is set across the wall between chambers so the passage stays open. It is used in heart conditions present from birth, where allowing blood to cross between chambers improves how well the body is supplied.
