ICD-10 Code I25.768 – Atherosclerosis of bypass graft of coronary artery of transplanted heart with other forms of angina pectoris (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I25.768 – Atherosclerosis of bypass graft of coronary artery of transplanted heart with other forms of angina pectoris
What it is
This code identifies atherosclerotic narrowing or plaque in a bypass graft supplying a transplanted heart, with angina that is not otherwise specified as unstable or due to spasm. Use it when the documentation links the graft disease and the angina type.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Typical records may note chest pain or ischemic discomfort in a patient with a transplanted heart and prior coronary bypass grafting, along with provider confirmation of atherosclerotic graft disease.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents atherosclerosis affecting a bypass graft of a coronary artery in a transplanted heart and specifies “other forms of angina pectoris.” It is appropriate for outpatient, inpatient, or problem-list coding when the diagnosis is established. If the angina type is not documented, check documentation before assigning this code.
Do not use for
Do not use it for angina without documented graft atherosclerosis, or for disease in a native coronary artery only. Do not use it when the record specifies unstable angina, vasospastic angina, or another more specific coronary diagnosis.
Coding tip
Match the graft location, transplant status, and angina wording exactly; if any element is missing, check documentation.
