What 33364 covers

This service replaces the aortic valve with a prosthetic valve delivered by catheter through an iliac artery that has been surgically exposed. A cardiac surgeon and interventional cardiologist may perform the procedure in a hospital hybrid operating room or catheterization laboratory, commonly for a patient with aortic stenosis when the iliac route is selected for valve delivery.

Select the code from the documented access route: 33364 identifies open iliac artery access. The operative report should establish the vessel exposed, the route used to deliver the valve, and valve deployment. CMS assigns a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. For qualifying procedures performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others at 50%. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires medical-necessity documentation; co-surgeons are permitted, and team surgery requires supporting documentation.
