Vein-To-Vein Shunt In The Abdomen

Texas rates for HCPCS 37145

Surgery that joins two large veins in the abdomen so blood from the digestive organs can bypass a diseased liver and return to the heart by a shorter route. Relieving the back-pressure lowers the risk of bleeding from swollen veins in the stomach and food pipe and can reduce fluid build-up in the belly. It is major open surgery, used when medication and endoscopic treatment have not controlled the problem.
