Shunt From Lower Aorta To The Lung Artery

New Mexico rates for HCPCS 33762

Builds a connection between the descending aorta — the main artery running down through the chest — and the artery going to the lungs, so more blood reaches the lungs to pick up oxygen. It is done in children born with heart defects that leave lung blood flow too low. The chest is opened under general anesthesia, and the shunt is generally a step in a staged surgical plan.
