Atherosclerosis of autologous artery coronary artery bypass graft(s) with other forms of angina pectoris
ICD-10 I25.728 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of atherosclerosis of autologous artery coronary artery bypass graft(s) with other forms of angina pectoris.
I25.728 refers to atherosclerosis of autologous artery coronary artery bypass graft(s) with other forms of angina pectoris. This condition arises when there is a buildup of plaque in the grafted arteries that were previously used to bypass blocked coronary arteries. Clinically, patients may present with symptoms of angina pectoris, which can manifest as chest pain or discomfort, often triggered by physical activity or emotional stress. The anatomy involved includes the coronary arteries and the grafts, which may be sourced from the patient's own arteries or veins. Disease progression can lead to reduced blood flow to the heart muscle, increasing the risk of myocardial infarction. Diagnostic considerations include a thorough patient history, physical examination, and imaging studies such as angiography or stress testing to evaluate the patency of the grafts and the presence of ischemia. Management may involve lifestyle modifications, pharmacotherapy, and possibly revascularization procedures if symptoms persist or worsen.

I25.728 covers atherosclerosis affecting coronary artery bypass grafts, specifically when patients experience other forms of angina pectoris, which may include stable or unstable angina.
I25.728 should be used when there is documented atherosclerosis of bypass grafts along with symptoms of angina, differentiating it from codes that do not specify graft involvement.
Documentation should include a detailed patient history of coronary artery disease, prior bypass surgeries, current symptoms of angina, and results from diagnostic tests that confirm graft involvement.
