Atherosclerosis of coronary artery bypass graft(s), unspecified, with other forms of angina pectoris
ICD-10 I25.708 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of atherosclerosis of coronary artery bypass graft(s), unspecified, with other forms of angina pectoris.
I25.708 refers to atherosclerosis of coronary artery bypass graft(s) that is unspecified, accompanied by other forms of angina pectoris. This condition arises when there is a buildup of plaque in the grafts used to bypass blocked coronary arteries, leading to reduced blood flow to the heart muscle. Clinically, patients may present with symptoms of angina, which can manifest as chest pain, discomfort, or pressure, especially during physical exertion or stress. The anatomy involved includes the coronary arteries and the grafts, which may be saphenous veins or internal mammary arteries. Disease progression can lead to worsening angina, myocardial ischemia, or even myocardial infarction if not managed appropriately. Diagnostic considerations include a thorough patient history, physical examination, and possibly imaging studies such as angiography or stress testing to evaluate graft patency and assess the severity of coronary artery disease. Understanding the nuances of this condition is crucial for effective management and coding.

I25.708 covers atherosclerosis affecting coronary artery bypass grafts with the presence of other forms of angina pectoris, which may include stable angina, unstable angina, or variant angina. It is essential to document the specific type of angina experienced by the patient.
I25.708 should be used when there is documented atherosclerosis of coronary artery bypass grafts accompanied by angina. If the angina is absent or if the atherosclerosis affects native coronary arteries, other codes such as I25.709 or I25.10 should be considered.
Documentation should include a detailed patient history, clinical findings, results from diagnostic tests (e.g., angiography, stress tests), and a clear description of the angina type. This ensures that the diagnosis is well-supported and justifies the use of this specific code.
