What 33411 covers

This code describes surgical replacement of the aortic valve through a transventricular approach, with cardiopulmonary bypass. A cardiac surgeon performs the operation in a hospital operating room, removing the diseased valve and implanting a replacement. The operative report should identify the approach and the valve replacement; the procedure is distinct from aortic valve repair and from other aortic valve replacement techniques.

Report the code when the documented operation matches this approach, rather than selecting it solely because an aortic valve was replaced. Record the operative details that support the approach and any additional anatomic work, and compare the applicable sibling code when enlargement is documented. The service has a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Assistant-at-surgery services may be paid; CMS does not permit co-surgeon or team-surgery payment for this code.
