Open Groin Placement Of A Heart Balloon Pump

Colorado rates for HCPCS 33970

Places a balloon pump into the aorta by way of the femoral artery in the groin, reached through a surgical incision rather than a needle puncture. The balloon inflates and deflates in time with the heartbeat, easing the heart's workload and pushing more blood into the arteries feeding the heart muscle. It supports a failing heart for a short period while treatment takes effect.
