Atherosclerosis of coronary artery bypass graft(s) without angina pectoris
ICD-10 I25.810 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of atherosclerosis of coronary artery bypass graft(s) without angina pectoris.
I25.810 refers to atherosclerosis of coronary artery bypass graft(s) without angina pectoris. This condition occurs 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 symptoms such as fatigue or shortness of breath, but without the chest pain typically associated with angina. The anatomy involved includes the coronary arteries and the grafts, which can be saphenous veins or internal mammary arteries. Disease progression can lead to graft failure or myocardial ischemia if not managed appropriately. Diagnostic considerations include imaging studies such as coronary angiography or non-invasive tests to assess graft patency and blood flow. Regular follow-up is essential for monitoring and managing potential complications.

I25.810 covers atherosclerosis affecting coronary artery bypass grafts without the presence of angina pectoris. It specifically pertains to patients who have undergone coronary artery bypass grafting and are experiencing graft-related complications without typical angina symptoms.
I25.810 should be used when a patient has atherosclerosis of the bypass grafts but does not exhibit angina pectoris. If the patient does experience angina, then I25.811 would be more appropriate.
Documentation should include a detailed history of the patient's coronary artery disease, previous bypass surgeries, current symptoms, and results from diagnostic imaging that confirm the presence of atherosclerosis in the grafts without angina.
