Clearing Old Clot From The Lung Arteries

Washington, DC rates for HCPCS 33916

Open-heart surgery that strips out old, scarred clot material bonded to the inner lining of the arteries of the lungs. It is done with the heart-lung machine taking over circulation, and it treats long-standing blockage that has driven up the blood pressure in the lung circulation and strained the right side of the heart. Clearing the arteries lowers that pressure and improves breathlessness and exercise capacity.
