Aortic Root Translocation Heart Repair

Alabama rates for HCPCS 33783

Complex open-heart surgery for a child born with the main arteries leaving the wrong pumping chambers, together with a hole between those chambers and a narrowed route out to the lungs. Using a heart-lung machine, the surgeon lifts the aorta with its valve and moves it onto the correct chamber, closes the hole, and rebuilds the pathway to the lungs. It is among the most involved repairs performed for this combination of defects.
