Summary
The provider inserts a special device to close, or occlude, a leak around the aortic valve, e.g., a prosthetic (artificial) valve, through a catheter inserted percutaneously, i.e., through a small incision in the skin over the heart. This code is for insertion of the first occlusion device to close a leak in the aortic valve, the cardiac valve connecting the heart to the aorta, the largest artery originating from heart that supplies oxygenated blood to the body.
