Placing An External Pump For Both Heart Chambers

South Carolina rates for HCPCS 33976

Places a mechanical pump that sits outside the body and takes over the work of both the right and left pumping chambers of the heart. Tubes run from the heart through the chest wall to the pump, which drives blood to the lungs and to the rest of the body. It is used when the heart is failing badly and needs support while it recovers or while a patient waits for a transplant.
