Atherosclerosis of autologous vein coronary artery bypass graft(s) with unspecified angina pectoris
ICD-10 I25.719 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of atherosclerosis of autologous vein coronary artery bypass graft(s) with unspecified angina pectoris.
I25.719 refers to atherosclerosis of autologous vein coronary artery bypass graft(s) accompanied by unspecified angina pectoris. This condition arises when there is a buildup of plaque within the grafts used in coronary artery bypass surgery, leading to narrowed or blocked arteries. Clinically, patients may present with chest pain or discomfort, which is characteristic of angina pectoris, although the specific nature of the angina may not be clearly defined. The anatomy involved includes the coronary arteries and the grafts, typically harvested from the patient's own veins, which are used to bypass blocked coronary arteries. Disease progression can lead to worsening angina, myocardial ischemia, or even myocardial infarction if not managed appropriately. Diagnostic considerations include imaging studies such as coronary angiography or non-invasive tests to assess graft patency and myocardial perfusion. Regular follow-up and monitoring are essential for managing this condition effectively.

I25.719 covers atherosclerosis affecting autologous vein grafts used in coronary artery bypass surgery, specifically when patients experience unspecified angina pectoris. It does not specify the severity or type of angina, allowing for broader application in clinical scenarios.
I25.719 should be used when there is clear evidence of atherosclerosis in vein grafts with angina symptoms, but without specific classification of the angina. If the angina is classified or if the atherosclerosis affects native arteries, other codes should be considered.
Documentation should include a detailed history of the patient's coronary artery bypass graft surgery, current symptoms of angina, results from diagnostic tests (such as angiograms), and any treatment plans or interventions undertaken.
