The case definition of using the ICD-10-CM code of I60 or I61 as the primary diagnosis to identify acute hemorrhagic stroke yielded a PPV and sensitivity of 98.2% and 93.1%, respectively.
Question ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for hemorrhagic conversion of thrombotic cerebral infarction (stroke)? I would appreciate some help with choosing the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for "hemorrhagic conversion of thrombotic cerebral infarction (stroke)." I came up with I61.8. Any thoughts? (Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.)
The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM I63.9 became effective on October 1, 2020. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of I63.9 - other international versions of ICD-10 I63.9 may differ. Applicable To. Stroke NOS.

Middle cerebral artery (MCA) stroke describes the sudden onset of focal neurologic deficit resulting from brain infarction or ischemia in the territory supplied by the MCA. The MCA is by far the largest cerebral artery and is the vessel most commonly affected by cerebrovascular accident.
Hemorrhagic conversion occurs when blood vessels in the brain rupture after blood flow is restored to the brain after a stroke. HC can cause stroke-like symptoms, as well as complications that can have lasting effects, including disability and death.
ICD-10-CM Code for Cerebral infarction due to unspecified occlusion or stenosis of middle cerebral artery I63. 51.
Acute cerebrovascular insufficiency I67. 81 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I67. 81 became effective on October 1, 2021.
A middle cerebral artery stroke is an interruption of blood flow in the middle cerebral artery (MCA). Strokes happen when a blood vessel is blocked or ruptured. A stroke is always a medical emergency. It can cause permanent brain damage1 because brain cells die if they don't get a constant supply of oxygenated blood.
Ischemic stroke (see the image below) is characterized by the sudden loss of blood circulation to an area of the brain, resulting in a corresponding loss of neurologic function. Acute ischemic stroke is caused by thrombotic or embolic occlusion of a cerebral artery and is more common than hemorrhagic stroke.
Intracerebral hemorrhage may be clinically indistinguishable from ischemic stroke, and a thorough history and physical examination are important. An acute onset of neurologic deficit, altered level of consciousness/mental status, or coma is more common with hemorrhagic stroke than with ischemic stroke.
In general, while either ischemic stroke or hemorrhagic stroke may develop, the simultaneous onset of both may also occasionally occur. In this report, we present a case of simultaneous development of ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke due to an intracranial artery dissection.

Hemorrhagic transformation (HT) is a frequent complication of acute ischemic stroke that is especially common after thrombolytic therapy. The risk of HT limits the applicability of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA).
