Operations on the coronary vessels: Other revascularization of the heart: Coronary artery patch

You have had synthetic tissue or tissue from your own body sewn into a coronary artery.

The heart is supplied with oxygen-rich blood via the coronary arteries. The coronary arteries are blood vessels that run around the outside of the heart.

When a piece of tissue is sewn into a blood vessel, it can enlarge a narrowed blood vessel. In this way, the area behind the location treated should have a better blood supply.

Additional indicator

If necessary, additional letters are appended to OPS codes to indicate which side of the body is affected.

  • L: Left
  • R: Right
  • B: Both sides

Further information

Note

Your doctor will assist you with any health-related questions and explain the OPS code to you in a direct consultation if necessary.
