Displacement of biological heart valve graft, subs encntr

This code signifies a complication where a previously implanted biological heart valve graft has shifted from its intended position. This displacement can lead to impaired valve function, potentially causing symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest pain, or heart murmur.

Use this code for follow-up encounters where a patient is being treated for, or experiencing ongoing issues related to, the displacement of their biological heart valve graft. This includes subsequent hospitalizations, clinic visits for management, or diagnostic workups related to the displaced graft.

• Requires an additional code to specify the type of biological heart valve involved (e.g., aortic, mitral).
• Ensure documentation clearly indicates "subsequent encounter" for treatment or follow-up of the displacement.
• Distinguish from initial encounters for the displacement (T82.222A) or sequela (T82.222S).
