Reopening the Chest After Blood Vessel Surgery

Virginia rates for HCPCS 35820

The chest is reopened to find and deal with a problem that has developed after earlier surgery on the blood vessels there, such as bleeding, a clot blocking a repair, or an infection. The surgeon inspects the previous work directly and corrects what is found. It is usually an urgent operation rather than a planned one.
