ICD-10-CM Code For Complications Of Cardiac And Vascular Prosthetic Devices Implants And Grafts: Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) code group T82 includes complications of cardiac and vascular prosthetic devices, implants and grafts such as mechanical malfunction, infection, thrombosis, migration, and other device-related adverse events. These ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes are used to document clinical encounters involving device-related complications, capturing device type, complication nature, and any associated anatomical site or systemic involvement. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-CM T82 group supports proper claim adjudication, complete clinical documentation, and appropriate reimbursement.

ICD-10-CM T82: Complications Of Cardiac And Vascular Prosthetic Devices, Implants And Grafts Overview

The ICD-10-CM T82 group represents complications related to prosthetic devices, implants, and grafts used in the cardiac and vascular systems. These diagnoses target complications such as mechanical failure, infection, thrombosis, migration, or degeneration of implanted cardiovascular hardware. Accurate coding matters because it supports correct claim adjudication, reflects clinical complexity, and ensures appropriate reimbursement for device-related care.

When to Use

Use a code from this group when a clinical encounter documents a complication attributable to a cardiac or vascular prosthetic device, implant, or graft. Codes should be selected to reflect the specific device involved and the nature of the complication, as documented in the medical record.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An elderly patient with a history of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) presents to the emergency department with sudden onset chest pain, hypotension, and a rapidly expanding chest wall hematoma at a prior graft insertion site after recent anticoagulation adjustment. Imaging confirms bleeding from the graft anastomosis and the patient requires urgent surgical exploration for hemostasis. A code from this group is assigned to capture the acute hemorrhagic complication related to the vascular graft. Typical codes: T82.110A, T82.111A
A middle-aged patient with a prosthetic aortic valve implanted two years ago reports progressive exertional dyspnea, low-grade fevers, and new heart murmur; blood cultures grow Staphylococcus aureus and transesophageal echocardiography shows vegetations on the prosthetic valve. The patient is admitted for intravenous antibiotics and possible valve replacement for prosthetic valve endocarditis. A code from this group is assigned to document the infection involving the cardiac prosthetic device. Typical codes: T82.211A, T82.218A
A dialysis-dependent patient with a long-standing synthetic arteriovenous (AV) graft complains of increasing graft site swelling and persistent drainage; outpatient evaluation finds graft thrombosis and chronic graft infection limiting use for hemodialysis. The patient is scheduled for graft excision and creation of a new access; a diagnosis from this group is used to describe the chronic malfunction and infectious complication of the vascular implant. Typical codes: T82.320A, T82.328A
