Atherosclerosis of nonautologous biological coronary artery bypass graft(s) with unstable angina pectoris
ICD-10 I25.730 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of atherosclerosis of nonautologous biological coronary artery bypass graft(s) with unstable angina pectoris.
I25.730 refers to atherosclerosis of nonautologous biological coronary artery bypass graft(s) accompanied by unstable angina pectoris. This condition arises when plaque builds up in the grafts used to bypass blocked coronary arteries, leading to reduced blood flow to the heart muscle. Clinically, patients may present with chest pain, shortness of breath, and other symptoms indicative of unstable angina, which is characterized by increased frequency and severity of angina episodes, often occurring at rest or with minimal exertion. The anatomy involved includes the coronary arteries and the grafts, which may be derived from biological sources such as veins or arteries from the patient's own body. Disease progression can lead to myocardial ischemia and potentially myocardial infarction if not managed appropriately. Diagnostic considerations include a thorough patient history, physical examination, and imaging studies such as angiography or stress testing to assess the patency of the grafts and the severity of coronary artery disease. Laboratory tests may also be utilized to evaluate cardiac biomarkers in the context of unstable angina.

I25.730 specifically covers atherosclerosis affecting nonautologous biological coronary artery bypass grafts in patients experiencing unstable angina pectoris. This includes patients who have undergone bypass surgery and are now presenting with symptoms of unstable angina due to graft-related complications.
I25.730 should be used when the patient has a documented history of nonautologous biological coronary artery bypass grafts and is currently experiencing unstable angina. It is important to differentiate this from other codes that may pertain to native coronary artery disease or stable angina.
Documentation supporting I25.730 should include a detailed history of the patient's coronary artery bypass grafting, current symptoms of unstable angina, results from diagnostic tests (such as angiography), and any relevant treatment plans. Clear notes on the patient's clinical status and response to treatment are also essential.
