Y71.3: Cardiovascular devices associated with adverse incidents : surgical instruments, materials and devices (including sutures)

Adverse incidents associated with cardiovascular devices linked to surgical instruments, materials, and devices pertain to complications or unexpected events happening due to the use of these tools during heart-related surgeries. These incidents often involve materials or devices such as sutures, which might have been used improperly, malfunctioned, or caused an unforeseen problem. They can lead to a variety of symptoms, which largely depend on the specific incident. For instance, a patient might experience increased heart rate, chest pain, fever, or other signs of infection if a device used in a surgery causes an issue. The progression of the complications also depends on the nature of the incident and the patient's overall health status. These complications can affect different systems in the body, but most commonly it affects the cardiovascular system, which includes the heart and blood vessels.
