Congenital cardiac surgery
About 33755: Ascending aorta to pulmonary artery shunt
Reports surgical creation of a connection from the ascending aorta to the pulmonary artery to increase pulmonary blood flow in congenital heart disease.
This operation creates a systemic-to-pulmonary blood-flow connection from the ascending aorta to the pulmonary artery. A congenital or pediatric cardiac surgeon typically performs it in an operating room as palliation for congenital heart disease with inadequate pulmonary blood flow. The operative anatomy distinguishes this shunt from procedures using the subclavian artery, descending aorta, or a prosthetic central graft.
Report the code when the documented operation creates this connection; the operative report should identify the shunt’s origin and destination and describe the surgical work performed. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% multiple-procedure reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

33755 billing questions
How is this distinguished from a subclavian-to-pulmonary shunt?
Use this code when the shunt originates from the ascending aorta. A shunt originating from the subclavian artery is represented by 33750.
How is this distinguished from a descending aorta shunt?
The aortic origin determines the choice: this code is for the ascending aorta, while 33762 is for the descending aorta.
Does modifier 50 apply?
No. CMS identifies bilateral adjustment as inappropriate for this code.
Are related postoperative visits included?
The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made. Co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation; team surgery is not permitted.
What happens when another procedure is performed in the same session?
Under the standard multiple-procedure reduction, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are paid at 50%.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indices and the applicable conversion factor. Unavailable or separately priced services are labeled rather than assigned a made-up amount.
