Atherosclerosis of nonautologous biological coronary artery bypass graft(s) with unspecified angina pectoris
ICD-10 I25.739 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of atherosclerosis of nonautologous biological coronary artery bypass graft(s) with unspecified angina pectoris.
I25.739 refers to atherosclerosis of nonautologous biological coronary artery bypass graft(s) with unspecified 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 pectoris, which can manifest as chest pain, discomfort, or pressure, especially during physical exertion or emotional stress. 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 or donors. Disease progression can lead to ischemic heart disease, heart attacks, or heart failure if not managed appropriately. Diagnostic considerations include imaging studies such as coronary angiography, stress tests, and echocardiograms to assess graft patency and heart function. The presence of unspecified angina pectoris indicates that the specific type of angina has not been determined, necessitating further evaluation to guide treatment.

I25.739 covers atherosclerosis affecting nonautologous biological coronary artery bypass grafts, leading to angina pectoris. It is important to differentiate this from other forms of coronary artery disease and specify the type of angina when possible.
I25.739 should be used when the patient has a documented history of atherosclerosis in grafts with unspecified angina. If the angina type is known or if it involves native coronary arteries, other codes should be considered.
Documentation should include clinical notes detailing the patient's symptoms, diagnostic imaging results showing graft status, and any relevant history of coronary artery disease or previous interventions.
