Patch Repair of a Narrowed Lung Artery

Alabama rates for HCPCS 33917

Widens a narrowed artery carrying blood from the heart to the lungs by opening the vessel and sewing in a patch or a section of graft to enlarge it. The narrowing forces the right side of the heart to work harder and limits blood flow to the lungs. It is open chest surgery, often using the heart-lung machine.
