Additional Info

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


  • 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.
