ICD-10 Code I25.762 – Atherosclerosis of bypass graft of coronary artery of transplanted heart with refractory angina pectoris (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I25.762 – Atherosclerosis of bypass graft of coronary artery of transplanted heart with refractory angina pectoris
What it is
This code identifies atherosclerosis affecting a bypass graft in the coronary artery of a transplanted heart, with refractory angina pectoris. It means the graft has plaque-related narrowing and the chest pain persists despite usual management.
Clinical signs
Typical documentation includes coronary artery disease in a transplanted heart, prior bypass grafting, and ongoing angina that is difficult to control. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the record clearly states atherosclerosis of a coronary bypass graft in a transplanted heart and also documents refractory angina pectoris. You should confirm both the transplant status and the graft site. If the note only says angina or graft disease without refractory angina, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for angina without documented refractory status, or for coronary disease in a native heart. It is also not appropriate when the graft is not specified as part of a transplanted heart.
Coding tip
Match all elements in the diagnosis phrase: transplanted heart, bypass graft, atherosclerosis, and refractory angina.
