 2008 ICD-9-CM Procedure 37.52
- Implantation of total replacement heart system
- A pumping mechanism that duplicates the output, rate, and blood pressure of the natural heart. It may replace the function of the entire heart or a portion of it, and may be an intracorporeal, extracorporeal, or paracorporeal heart. (Dorland, 28th ed)
- Prostheses designed for total replacement of the biological natural heart. These devices typically consist of an implantable mechanism that includes one or more pumps, valves, cannulae, and a power source. Heart prostheses are used to provide blood circulation to patients with a debilitated or completely failed heart. Some devices are designed for implantation of the pumping mechanism with a physical connection to an external power source (e.g., electrical, pneumatic), and others are totally implantable but may need a wireless, transcutaneous transmission of power from an external source. Percutaneously powered prostheses are mostly intended for temporary use before a heart transplant is possible; transcutaneously powered heart prostheses are intended for permanent use.
