Wyoming rates for HCPCS 33980

Takes out a mechanical pump that was implanted inside the chest to support one of the heart's lower chambers, along with its connections to the heart and the main artery.

It is done when the heart has recovered, at the time of a transplant, or when the device has to come out.
