Atherosclerosis of other coronary artery bypass graft(s) with refractory angina pectoris
Atherosclerosis of other coronary artery bypass graft(s) with refractory angina pectoris is a condition that affects the heart. It is caused by the buildup of plaque in the arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle. This condition can lead to chest pain, also known as angina pectoris, which can be severe and persistent.
When a person undergoes coronary artery bypass surgery, a healthy blood vessel is taken from another part of the body and grafted onto the coronary artery to bypass the blocked or narrowed section. However, in some cases, the graft may become blocked due to atherosclerosis. This is a condition in which plaque builds up inside the artery walls, causing them to narrow and harden.
Refractory angina pectoris is a type of chest pain that occurs despite treatment with medication or other interventions. It can be a sign of a serious underlying condition, such as atherosclerosis of other coronary artery bypass graft(s).
