Atherosclerosis of coronary artery bypass graft(s), unspecified, with angina pectoris with documented spasm
ICD-10 I25.701 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of atherosclerosis of coronary artery bypass graft(s), unspecified, with angina pectoris with documented spasm.
I25.701 refers to atherosclerosis of coronary artery bypass graft(s) that is unspecified and associated with angina pectoris accompanied by documented spasm. This condition arises when there is a buildup of plaque in the coronary arteries, which can lead to reduced blood flow and oxygen to the heart muscle, resulting in angina. The coronary artery bypass grafts (CABGs) are surgical procedures that reroute blood around blocked arteries to improve blood flow to the heart. The presence of angina pectoris indicates that the patient experiences chest pain or discomfort due to ischemia, which may be exacerbated by coronary artery spasm. This condition can progress to more severe cardiovascular events, including myocardial infarction. Diagnostic considerations for I25.701 include patient history, physical examination, and diagnostic tests such as stress testing, angiography, and imaging studies to assess graft patency and coronary artery status. Understanding the anatomy of the coronary arteries and the grafts is crucial for effective management and treatment planning.

I25.701 covers atherosclerosis affecting coronary artery bypass grafts, specifically when the patient experiences angina pectoris with documented spasm. This includes patients who have undergone CABG and now present with symptoms indicative of ischemia due to graft-related issues.
I25.701 should be used when there is a clear diagnosis of atherosclerosis affecting CABG with associated angina and documented spasm. It is distinct from codes that describe stable angina or other forms of coronary artery disease without spasm.
Documentation must include a detailed patient history, evidence of atherosclerosis affecting the grafts, and clinical notes indicating episodes of angina with spasm. Diagnostic tests confirming the condition should also be included.
