Other transplanted tissue failure

This code signifies the failure of any transplanted tissue other than bone marrow, stem cells, or corneal tissue. It indicates that the transplanted tissue is no longer functioning as intended, leading to clinical manifestations of organ or tissue dysfunction. This failure can be acute, chronic, or due to various etiologies such as rejection, infection, or technical complications.

Use this code when documentation specifies the failure of a transplanted tissue, such as skin grafts, heart valves, pancreatic islets, or vascular grafts, that does not have a more specific ICD-10-CM code. It is appropriate for cases where the transplanted tissue has ceased to function, requiring further medical intervention or re-transplantation.

• Always review documentation for the specific type of transplanted tissue to ensure a more precise code isn't available.
• This code should be sequenced as a principal or secondary diagnosis depending on the reason for the encounter.
• Do not use for complications of transplanted organs (e.g., heart, kidney, liver, lung) as these have specific codes within the T86 series.
