The authority held that the coil is implanted and therapeutically compensates for vascular defects by producing controlled occlusion, but it does not replace or anatomically substitute a defective body part, which is the primary criterion for coverage as an artificial body part under the preceding CTI 9021 10 to 39 entries.
