== Additional Info ==

*This code is for '''cerebral ischemia/stroke due to an embolism''' (including cardioembolic) to a cerebral artery.

'''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]]'''.

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.
