Y71.2: Cardiovascular devices associated with adverse incidents : prosthetic and other implants, materials and accessory devices

Cardiovascular devices associated with adverse incidents refer to health complications that occur due to the use of prosthetic implants, materials, and accessory devices intended for use in the cardiovascular system. These devices, such as heart valves or stents, are typically used to improve heart function or blood flow. However, they sometimes can lead to negative effects, known as adverse incidents. These adverse incidents can involve device failure, improper device placement, allergic reactions to the device materials, or complications like infection or bleeding post-procedure. Symptoms can vary widely depending on the specific situation, but commonly include pain, fever, abnormal heart rhythm, shortness of breath, or decreased exercise tolerance. In the worst-case scenarios, these adverse incidents can lead to severe illness or even death. It's important to have regular post-procedure follow-up and monitoring to detect any potential device-related issue at the earliest.
