Temporary Heart Pump Placed Through Blood Vessels

Virginia rates for HCPCS 33991

Places a temporary mechanical pump to support a failing left pumping chamber of the heart, threaded in through blood vessels rather than by opening the chest. Working under X-ray guidance, the doctor positions the pump so it moves blood forward while the heart recovers or while longer-term treatment is arranged.
