What 33412 covers

This code describes open replacement of the aortic valve with translocation of the coronary ostia. During the operation, the surgeon mobilizes the coronary openings from the aortic root and reimplants them in the reconstructed root. Cardiothoracic surgeons typically perform this complex procedure in a hospital operating room with cardiopulmonary bypass. The operative report should identify the valve replacement and document the coronary ostia translocation, rather than only describing routine valve replacement or annular enlargement.

Report the code when the operative work includes this coronary reimplantation as part of aortic valve replacement; distinguish it from standard replacement and from replacement with annular enlargement alone. The 90-day global period includes 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 multiple-procedure reduction. An assistant at surgery may be paid. Co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, while team surgery is not permitted. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this aortic procedure.
