Reduction Aortoplasty

Date: Jan 24, 2024

Question:

What is a CPT code that is comparable to unlisted code for reduction aortoplasty?

"A section of the enlarged ascending aorta was resected along the greater curvature. The resected margins of the ascending aorta were approximated between two felt bolsters with a double running 4-0 Prolene suture, thus reducing the dilated section of the ascending aorta to a much more normal diameter."
