Atherosclerosis of bypass graft of coronary artery of transplanted heart with angina pectoris
ICD-10 I25.76 is a used to indicate a diagnosis of atherosclerosis of bypass graft of coronary artery of transplanted heart with angina pectoris.
I25.76 refers to atherosclerosis of a bypass graft of the coronary artery in a transplanted heart, accompanied by angina pectoris. This condition arises when plaque builds up in the grafts used to bypass blocked coronary arteries, leading to reduced blood flow and oxygen to the heart muscle. Clinically, patients may present with symptoms of angina, which can manifest as chest pain or discomfort, often triggered by physical exertion or emotional stress. The anatomy involved includes the coronary arteries and the grafts that have been surgically implanted to restore blood flow. Disease progression can lead to ischemia and potentially myocardial infarction if not managed appropriately. Diagnostic considerations include imaging studies such as coronary angiography, which can visualize the grafts and assess for patency and atherosclerotic changes. Regular follow-up and monitoring are crucial for early detection and management of complications associated with this condition.

I25.76 specifically covers atherosclerosis affecting the bypass grafts of coronary arteries in patients who have undergone heart transplantation, particularly when accompanied by symptoms of angina pectoris.
I25.76 should be used when the patient has a documented history of heart transplantation and presents with angina due to graft atherosclerosis, differentiating it from native coronary artery disease codes.
Documentation should include the patient's transplant history, current symptoms, results of diagnostic imaging showing graft status, and any relevant treatment plans or interventions.
