T80-T88: Complications of surgical and medical care, not elsewhere classified
T82: Complications of cardiac and vascular prosthetic devices, implants and grafts
The ICD-10 group T82 relates to complications of cardiac and vascular prosthetic devices, implants, and grafts. It encompasses a range of conditions stemming from issues with artificial heart and vascular systems. Such issues are not due to problems with the natural organ system, but rather complications from artificial substitutes used to address heart and vascular conditions. These complications can range from infection to malfunction of the device, implant, or graft, and reactions of the body to these artificial elements. Symptoms may vary widely based on the nature and location of the issue, however, complications often lead to changes in heart rhythm, chest pain, shortness of breath, or swelling in the legs. These conditions can be serious and require immediate medical attention to prevent further health risks.
