About 33368: TAVR with bypass, open femoral access
Reports cardiopulmonary bypass support during transcatheter aortic valve replacement performed through an open femoral artery approach.
Code 33368 represents cardiopulmonary bypass used during transcatheter aortic valve replacement when the valve is reached through an open femoral artery exposure. The procedure is generally performed by a cardiac surgery team in a hospital operating room for a patient undergoing TAVR who requires bypass support. It is distinct from the TAVR service itself: the open femoral access route and valve replacement are represented by the matching primary procedure code.
Report 33368 only with its qualifying primary TAVR procedure, not as a standalone service. For an open femoral approach, pair it with 33362. The operative report should support the open femoral route and the use of cardiopulmonary bypass during the valve procedure. CMS treats this as an add-on code paid within the primary procedure’s global period, so it does not establish a separate global period.
