Atherosclerosis of other coronary artery bypass graft(s) with angina pectoris
ICD-10 I25.79 is a used to indicate a diagnosis of atherosclerosis of other coronary artery bypass graft(s) with angina pectoris.
I25.79 refers to atherosclerosis of other coronary artery bypass graft(s) with angina pectoris. This condition occurs when there is a buildup of plaque in the grafted coronary arteries, leading to reduced blood flow to the heart muscle and resulting in angina, which is characterized by chest pain or discomfort. 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, myocardial ischemia, and potentially myocardial infarction if left untreated. Diagnostic considerations include patient history, physical examination, and imaging studies such as angiography or stress tests to assess the severity of the graft disease and the presence of ischemia. Clinicians must differentiate this condition from other forms of coronary artery disease and angina to ensure appropriate management and treatment.

I25.79 covers atherosclerosis affecting coronary artery bypass grafts, specifically when patients present with angina pectoris. This includes grafts from previous bypass surgeries that have developed atherosclerotic changes leading to ischemic symptoms.
I25.79 should be used when the patient has a documented history of coronary artery bypass grafting and presents with angina due to atherosclerosis in those grafts, distinguishing it from other coronary artery disease codes.
Documentation should include a detailed history of coronary artery bypass grafting, current symptoms of angina, results from diagnostic tests such as angiography, and any treatment plans that address the grafts' condition.
