Atherosclerosis of other coronary artery bypass graft(s) with refractory angina pectoris
ICD-10 I25.792 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of atherosclerosis of other coronary artery bypass graft(s) with refractory angina pectoris.
I25.792 refers to atherosclerosis of other coronary artery bypass graft(s) with refractory angina pectoris. This condition arises when there is a buildup of plaque in the grafted coronary arteries, leading to reduced blood flow to the heart muscle. Patients typically present with symptoms of angina pectoris, characterized by chest pain or discomfort that occurs due to inadequate blood supply during physical exertion or emotional stress. The anatomy involved includes the coronary arteries that have been surgically bypassed, which may become narrowed or blocked due to atherosclerosis. Disease progression can lead to worsening angina, heart failure, or even myocardial infarction if not managed appropriately. Diagnostic considerations include a thorough patient history, physical examination, and imaging studies such as angiography or stress tests to evaluate the severity of the graft disease and its impact on cardiac function. Management often involves a combination of lifestyle modifications, medications, and possibly re-intervention, such as percutaneous coronary intervention or surgical revision of the bypass grafts.

I25.792 covers atherosclerosis affecting coronary artery bypass grafts, specifically when patients experience refractory angina pectoris, which is angina that does not respond adequately to standard medical treatment.
I25.792 should be used when there is documented evidence of atherosclerosis in bypass grafts accompanied by refractory angina, distinguishing it from other forms of coronary artery disease without graft involvement.
Documentation should include clinical notes detailing the patient's history of coronary artery bypass grafting, current symptoms of angina, results from diagnostic tests, and any treatments attempted for angina management.
