AHA Coding Clinic® for ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS - 2016 Issue 4; ICD-10-CM NEW/REVISED CODES
Complications of Cardiac and Vascular Prosthetic Devices, Implants and Grafts
Two new codes have been created to uniquely differentiate stenosis of coronary artery stent (T82.855) from stenosis of peripheral vascular stent (T82.856). These codes include in-stent stenosis as well as restenosis. Codes T82.857 and T82.858 have been revised accordingly to identify stenosis of “other cardiac prosthetic devices, implants and grafts” (T82.857) and “other vascular prosthetic devices, implants and grafts” (T82.858). In addition, the code titles in sub-subcategories T82.81, T82.82, T82.83, T82.84 and T82.86 have been changed from “of” to “due to” as shown in...
