Atherosclerosis of other coronary artery bypass graft(s) with other forms of angina pectoris
ICD-10 I25.798 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of atherosclerosis of other coronary artery bypass graft(s) with other forms of angina pectoris.
I25.798 refers to atherosclerosis of other coronary artery bypass graft(s) with other forms of angina pectoris. This condition arises when there is a buildup of plaque within the grafts used to bypass blocked coronary arteries, leading to reduced blood flow to the heart muscle. Clinically, patients may present with symptoms of angina, which can manifest as chest pain, discomfort, or pressure, particularly during physical exertion or stress. The anatomy involved includes the coronary arteries and the grafts, which may be saphenous veins or arterial conduits. Disease progression can lead to worsening angina, myocardial ischemia, and potentially myocardial infarction if not managed appropriately. Diagnostic considerations include a thorough patient history, physical examination, and imaging studies such as angiography or stress testing to assess graft patency and myocardial perfusion. Understanding the nuances of this condition is essential for effective management and coding.

I25.798 covers atherosclerosis affecting coronary artery bypass grafts, specifically when patients present with other forms of angina pectoris, which may not be typical stable angina. This includes variant angina or unstable angina that may arise due to graft-related ischemia.
I25.798 should be used when there is a confirmed diagnosis of atherosclerosis affecting bypass grafts accompanied by symptoms of angina that do not fit the criteria for stable angina or other related codes. It is essential to document the specific type of angina experienced by the patient.
Documentation should include a detailed patient history, clinical findings, results from diagnostic tests (such as angiography), and a clear description of the angina symptoms. Evidence of prior coronary artery bypass graft surgery and any related complications should also be included.
