Surgical Removal Of A Life Support Cannula

Vermont rates for HCPCS 33984

Taking out a large tube that has been connecting a patient to an external heart-lung support machine, where the vessel in the neck or groin is opened surgically so it can be repaired and closed directly once the tube is out. This approach is used when the vessel needs stitching rather than simple pressure. It is done in an operating room setting.
