implantable in, on, or around the heart

Introduced: January 2021

Full Title

Full titles differ between systems:

IPC:

Blood pumps; Devices for mechanical circulatory actuation; Balloon pumps for circulatory assistance > Location thereof with respect to the patient’s body > Implantable pumps or pumping devices, i.e. the blood being pumped inside the patient’s body > implantable in, on, or around the heart

CPC:

Blood pumps; Devices for mechanical circulatory actuation; Balloon pumps for circulatory assistance (heart stimulation A61H31/00; heart stimulators for electrotherapy A61N1/362) > Location thereof with respect to the patient's body > Implantable pumps or pumping devices, i.e. the blood being pumped inside the patient's body > implantable in, on, or around the heart

IPC and CPC are identically structured here. All 4 subcodes exist in both systems.

2 shared codes have differing titles between IPC and CPC.

IPC defines codes here since 2021.
