T82.5Mechanical complication of other cardiac and vascular devices and implants

T82.5 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for mechanical complication of other cardiac and vascular devices and implants. It belongs to category T82 (complications of cardiac and vascular prosthetic devices, implants and grafts), block T80-T88 (complications of surgical and medical care, not elsewhere classified) and chapter 19 (injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 4 subcodes must be used instead.

Within T82, choose T82.5 (Mechanical complication of other cardiac and vascular devices and implants) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: mechanical complication of heart valve prosthesis (T82.0), mechanical complication of cardiac electronic device (T82.1), mechanical complication of coronary artery bypass graft and biological heart valve graft (T82.2), mechanical complication of other vascular grafts (T82.3), mechanical complication of vascular dialysis catheter (T82.4), infection and inflammatory reaction due to cardiac valve prosthesis (T82.6), infection and inflammatory reaction due to other cardiac and vascular devices, implants and grafts (T82.7), other specified complications of cardiac and vascular prosthetic devices, implants and grafts (T82.8) and 1 more.

Codes in this range require a 7th character: A for initial encounter, D for subsequent encounter and S for sequela. Use placeholder "X" characters to fill any empty positions before the 7th character.

The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of T82.5, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: mechanical complication of epidural and subdural infusion catheter (T85.61).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
