'''Includes''' * Atheroembolism * Cryptogenic embolic stroke * Septic emboli combine with [[Septic Thrombosis or Embolism, NOS]] For '''thrombosis''' of a cerebral artery (not embolic), use '''[[Cerebral infarction/stroke, NOS]]'''. *If the embolic stroke spontaneously '''"transforms" and bleeds''', then COMBINE it with the appropriate code for the hemorrhage (see below). *If the hemorrhage after an ischemic stroke was NOT spontaneous, but followed anticoagulation, then the hemorrhage should be coded as '''[[Hemorrhage, due to anticoagulant or thrombolytic drug]]''' as a complication of treatment, not a complication of the stroke per se. === Comorbid Rule exception === {{ICD10 Guideline Stroke resolved exception}} == Alternate ICD10s to consider coding instead or in addition == {{ListICD10Category | categoryName = Arterial thromboembolism}} {{ListICD10Category | categoryName = Cerebral Hemorrhage/Stroke}} == Candidate [[Combined ICD10 codes]] == *[[Hemorrhage, subarachnoid or ruptured cerebral aneurysm]] *[[Hemorrhage, intracerebral/intracranial, nontraumatic (ICH, hemorrhagic stroke)]] *[[Subdural or epidural hematoma/hemorrhage, nontraumatic]] == Related CCI Codes == {{Data Integrity Check List}} == Related Articles == {{Related Articles}} {{ICD10 footer}} {{EndPlaceHolder}}
