Closure Of An Aorta-To-Lung Artery Opening

California rates for HCPCS 33813

Surgery to close an abnormal opening between the aorta and the artery carrying blood to the lungs — the two great vessels leaving the heart. The opening is present from birth and allows blood meant for the body to pour into the lungs instead, so closing it protects the lungs and relieves strain on the heart.
