Atherosclerosis of coronary artery bypass graft(s) and coronary artery of transplanted heart with angina pectoris
ICD-10 I25.7 is a used to indicate a diagnosis of atherosclerosis of coronary artery bypass graft(s) and coronary artery of transplanted heart with angina pectoris.
I25.7 refers to atherosclerosis of coronary artery bypass graft(s) and coronary artery of a transplanted heart, accompanied by angina pectoris. This condition arises when there is a buildup of plaque within the grafts used to bypass blocked coronary arteries, as well as in the arteries of a transplanted heart. Clinically, patients may present with episodes of angina, characterized by chest pain or discomfort due to reduced blood flow to the heart muscle. The anatomy involved includes the coronary arteries, which supply blood to the heart, and the bypass grafts, which are typically veins or arteries harvested from other parts of the body. Disease progression can lead to worsening angina, heart failure, or myocardial infarction if not managed appropriately. Diagnostic considerations include a thorough patient history, physical examination, and imaging studies such as angiography or stress tests to assess the severity of the atherosclerosis and the functional capacity of the heart. Regular monitoring and management are essential to prevent complications associated with this condition.

I25.7 covers atherosclerosis affecting both coronary artery bypass grafts and the coronary arteries of a transplanted heart, specifically when accompanied by angina pectoris. This includes conditions where grafts are occluded or narrowed due to plaque buildup, leading to ischemic symptoms.
I25.7 should be used when there is clear documentation of atherosclerosis affecting bypass grafts or a transplanted heart, along with the presence of angina. It is distinct from other codes that may refer to native coronary artery disease without graft involvement.
Documentation should include a detailed history of coronary artery disease, specifics about the bypass grafts or transplant, evidence of angina episodes, and results from diagnostic tests such as angiograms or stress tests that confirm the diagnosis.
