R822 – Porto-caval anastomosis
OHIP Cardiovascular Surgical Procedures Code — CARDIOVASCULAR SURGICAL PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
Porto-caval anastomosis is a major cardiovascular surgical procedure. It involves the creation of a direct connection (anastomosis) between the high-pressure portal vein and the low-pressure inferior vena cava. This shunt diverts portal blood flow, reducing pressure in the portal venous system, which is a primary treatment for complications of portal hypertension, such as esophageal variceal bleeding.
