Summary
The provider performs anesthesia services for a patient undergoing a procedure involving the heart, the sac around the heart, and the great vessels of the chest, such as the aorta, its major branches, and the major pulmonary vessels. The procedure is for something other than a coronary bypass procedure, but it may be a re–operation within a month of the original bypass. The patient is a year old or older and requires a pump oxygenator to take on the work of the heart and lungs.
