Short description: Vascular complications following a procedure, NEC
The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM T81.7 became effective on October 1, 2020.
This is the American ICD-10-CM version of T81.7 - other international versions of ICD-10 T81.7 may differ.

A type 2 excludes note represents "not included here". A type 2 excludes note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition it is excluded from but a patient may have both conditions at the same time.
