Thrombosis due to vascular prosth dev/grft, sequela

This code signifies a long-term or late-effect complication where a blood clot (thrombosis) has formed as a direct consequence of an implanted vascular device, such as a stent, graft, or artificial valve. It indicates that the acute thrombotic event has resolved, but the patient is still experiencing residual effects or requires ongoing management related to that past thrombosis.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting for follow-up, management of chronic symptoms, or evaluation of persistent issues directly attributable to a prior thrombosis that occurred due to a vascular prosthetic. This applies when the thrombosis itself is no longer acute but its sequelae are being addressed.

• Always sequence this code after the code for the specific sequela or current condition being treated.
• Do not use this code for acute or current thrombotic events; use the appropriate acute thrombosis code.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current patient presentation to a past thrombosis caused by the vascular device.
