Atherosclerosis of bypass graft of coronary artery of transplanted heart with unspecified angina pectoris
ICD-10 I25.769 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of atherosclerosis of bypass graft of coronary artery of transplanted heart with unspecified angina pectoris.
I25.769 refers to atherosclerosis of a bypass graft of the coronary artery in a transplanted heart, accompanied by unspecified angina pectoris. This condition arises when there is a buildup of plaque within the grafted arteries, leading to narrowed or blocked blood flow. The clinical presentation may include chest pain or discomfort, which can vary in intensity and frequency. The anatomy involved primarily includes the coronary arteries that have been surgically bypassed during heart transplantation. Disease progression can lead to ischemic heart disease, heart failure, or other serious cardiovascular complications if left untreated. Diagnostic considerations include patient history, physical examination, and imaging studies such as angiography or stress tests to assess graft patency and blood flow. It is crucial to differentiate this condition from other forms of angina and coronary artery disease to ensure appropriate management and treatment strategies.

I25.769 covers atherosclerosis affecting bypass grafts in patients with a transplanted heart, specifically when accompanied by unspecified angina pectoris. It does not include other types of coronary artery disease or native artery involvement.
I25.769 should be used when the patient has a documented history of atherosclerosis affecting a bypass graft in a transplanted heart, particularly when symptoms of angina are present but not specifically classified.
Documentation should include a detailed patient history, evidence of graft involvement through imaging studies, and clinical notes indicating the presence of angina symptoms. Clear differentiation from other cardiovascular conditions is essential.
