Y70-Y82: Medical devices associated with adverse incidents in diagnostic and therapeutic use
Y71: Cardiovascular devices associated with adverse incidents
The group of conditions classified as "Cardiovascular devices associated with adverse incidents" represents a variety of health complications that can occur in patients who have undergone procedures to insert cardiovascular devices – devices that are used to manage and treat heart diseases or conditions. An adverse incident, either during or following the intervention, can result in unexpected health issues. These can be caused due to a variety of reasons including faulty devices, incorrect placement, body's reaction to the device, or complications during surgery. Symptoms are varied and highly dependent on the type of device and the specific incident but may include pain, discomfort, shortness of breath, irregular heartbeat, or other clinical symptoms indicative of possible heart disorders. The progression can range from immediate to delayed onset and from mild to severe severity. Affected systems primarily involve the heart and related vascular system but could also potentially impact other body systems.
