Atherosclerosis of coronary artery bypass graft(s), unspecified, with unstable angina pectoris
ICD-10 I25.700 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of atherosclerosis of coronary artery bypass graft(s), unspecified, with unstable angina pectoris.
I25.700 refers to atherosclerosis of coronary artery bypass graft(s) that is unspecified and associated with unstable 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 chest pain or discomfort that occurs unpredictably and may worsen with exertion or stress. The anatomy involved includes the coronary arteries and the grafts, which can be either arterial or venous. Disease progression may lead to further ischemic events, heart attacks, or the need for additional interventions. 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. Unstable angina is a critical condition that requires immediate medical attention to prevent myocardial infarction.

I25.700 covers atherosclerosis affecting coronary artery bypass grafts that leads to unstable angina pectoris. This includes cases where the grafts are not functioning optimally due to plaque buildup, resulting in chest pain that is unpredictable and may occur at rest.
I25.700 should be used when the patient presents with unstable angina specifically related to graft atherosclerosis. If the angina is stable or not related to grafts, other codes such as I25.701 should be considered.
Documentation should include a detailed patient history, evidence of unstable angina symptoms, results from diagnostic tests (e.g., stress tests, angiograms), and any treatment plans that indicate the management of unstable angina related to grafts.
