Wiki Picc line complication

[JulesofColorado]

Patient came in for broken PICC Line in arm. What is the diagnosis code for that?
Thanks in advance!

996.1 Mechanical complication of other vascular device, implant, and graft ?

Hope this helps,

Thanks for the input. I actually ended up with 996.59 Mechanical complication of other specified prosthetic device, implant, and graft Due to other implant and internal device, not elsewhere classified

we use the 996.1 because picc line is a vascular device
