The cardiac stent is placed in the blood vessels under close monitoring and the surgery is only performed by specialists. This makes it at a reduced risk of contracting problems. However a few heart stent complications have been reported, which may arise when the body rejects the stent as a foreign object or there is an internal injury.
Cardiac stent placement is an angioplasty procedure that involves inserting a stent into the heart. Before a cardiac stent placement procedure, the physician must first gather as much information about the damaged or blocked artery as possible, including the location and size. A patient will also be given a blood thinner to help stop the blood from clotting during the procedure.
The risks associated with stenting include:
You may need coronary artery bypass surgery if:
Presence of coronary angioplasty implant and graft Z95. 5 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z95. 5 became effective on October 1, 2021.
ICD-10 code: Z95. 5 Presence of coronary angioplasty implant and graft.
Z98.61ICD-10-CM Code for Coronary angioplasty status Z98. 61.
ICD-10-CM Code for Peripheral vascular angioplasty status with implants and grafts Z95. 820.
Z95.5ICD-10-CM Code for Presence of coronary angioplasty implant and graft Z95. 5.
Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI, formerly known as angioplasty with stent) is a non-surgical procedure that uses a catheter (a thin flexible tube) to place a small structure called a stent to open up blood vessels in the heart that have been narrowed by plaque buildup, a condition known as atherosclerosis.
CPT codes 92928, 92933, 92929, 92934, 92937, 92938, 92941, 92943, and 92944 should be used to describe nondrug-eluting intracoronary stent placement procedures and are assigned to APC 0104.
A stent is a small, metal mesh tube that keeps the artery open. Angioplasty and stent placement are two ways to open blocked peripheral arteries. A coronary artery stent is a small, metal mesh tube that is placed inside a coronary artery to help keep the artery open.

Peripheral stent implants help hold open an artery so that blood can flow through the blocked or clogged artery., The stent—a small, lattice-shaped wire mesh tube, props open the artery and remains permanently in place. The stent is passed through the catheter and implanted in the peripheral artery.
Peripheral artery angioplasty (say "puh-RIFF-er-rull AR-ter-ree ANN-jee-oh-plass-tee") is a procedure to help blood flow better. The procedure widens or opens narrowed blocked arteries, typically in the pelvis or legs. This may help with pain or help wounds heal better.
T82.855AAnswer: Assign code T82. 855A, Stenosis of coronary artery stent, initial encounter, for the “in-stent” restenosis and I25. 10, Atherosclerotic heart disease of native coronary artery without angina pectoris, for the CAD.
