While pacemaker implantation doesn't usually require open heart surgery, elderly people are often at particular risk for bleeding and infection because of underlying medical conditions. Is This an Emergency? If you are experiencing serious medical symptoms, seek emergency treatment immediately. Pacemaker wires are typically inserted through a vein.
Pacemaker & ICD are two different devices. While pacemaker’s job is to treat slow heart rate, ICD’s job is to treat very fast chaotic heart rhythm. Pacemaker is used when patient’s heart rate drops to dangerously low levels.

The replacement of a battery or pulse generator requires two codes, one for the removal and another for the insertion. You'd pick 33212 or 33213, depending on whether it's a single or dual chamber, and 33233.
Encounter for surgical aftercare following surgery on the circulatory system 1 Z48.812 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. 2 Short description: Encntr for surgical aftcr following surgery on the circ sys 3 The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM Z48.812 became effective on October 1, 2020. 4 This is the American ICD-10-CM version of Z48.812 - other international versions of ICD-10 Z48.812 may differ.

Z77-Z99 Persons with potential health hazards related to family and personal history and certain conditions influencing health status
Aftercare visit codes cover situations when the initial treatment of a disease has been performed and the patient requires continued care during the healing or recovery phase, or for the long-term consequences of the disease. ICD-10 makes two important points about the use of aftercare codes in the final chapter.
Z98. 890 is a billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of other specified postprocedural states. The code Z98. 890 describes a circumstance which influences the patient's health status but not a current illness or injury.
