2018/2019 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I63.231. Cerebral infarction due to unspecified occlusion or stenosis of right carotid arteries. I63.231 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
Cerebral infarctions can be due to other causes such as a thrombus or embolus that are not related to carotid stenosis. Many patients have minimal carotid stenosis but have cerebral infarctions due to other causes.

A cerebral infarction (ICD-9-CM code 434.91), also called a stroke or cerebrovascular accident (CVA), occurs when the blood supply to a part of the brain is slowed or interrupted and brain tissue is deprived of oxygen and nutrients, causing cells to die.
I63. 9 - Cerebral infarction, unspecified | ICD-10-CM.
If the narrowing of the carotid arteries becomes severe enough that blood flow is blocked, it can cause a stroke. If a piece of plaque breaks off it can also block blood flow to the brain. This too can cause a stroke.
Obstruction in blood flow (ischemia) to the brain can lead to permanent damage. This is called a cerebrovascular accident (CVA). It is also known as cerebral infarction or stroke. Rupture of an artery with bleeding into the brain (hemorrhage) is called a CVA, too.
A cerebral infarction (also known as a stroke) refers to damage to tissues in the brain due to a loss of oxygen to the area. The mention of "arteriosclerotic cerebrovascular disease" refers to arteriosclerosis, or "hardening of the arteries" that supply oxygen-containing blood to the brain.
Also called ischemic stroke, a cerebral infarction occurs as a result of disrupted blood flow to the brain due to problems with the blood vessels that supply it. A lack of adequate blood supply to brain cells deprives them of oxygen and vital nutrients which can cause parts of the brain to die off.
ICD-10 code: I63. 9 Cerebral infarction, unspecified.
Sequelae are residual effects or conditions produced after the acute phase of an illness or injury has ended. Therefore there is no time limit on when a sequela code can be assigned. Residuals may be apparent early on such as in cerebral infarction, or they can occur months or years later.....
Ischemic stroke occurs when a blood clot blocks or narrows an artery leading to the brain. A blood clot often forms in arteries damaged by the buildup of plaques (atherosclerosis). It can occur in the carotid artery of the neck as well as other arteries. Carotid artery disease causes about 10 to 20 percent of strokes.
Carotid Artery. There are two carotid arteries in the neck — one on either side. They supply essential blood and oxygen to the brain and head. Carotid artery disease is a common but serious condition affecting the carotid arteries.
Extracranial internal carotid artery stenosis was associated with 8.0% of all ischemic strokes, while extracranial internal carotid artery occlusion and intracranial atherosclerosis were each associated with 3.5% of strokes.
Also called ischemic stroke, a cerebral infarction occurs as a result of disrupted blood flow to the brain due to problems with the blood vessels that supply it. A lack of adequate blood supply to brain cells deprives them of oxygen and vital nutrients which can cause parts of the brain to die off.
Acute Ischemic Stroke (ICD-10 code I63. *) should not be coded from an outpatient setting because confirmation of the diagnosis should be determined by diagnostics studies, such as non-contrast brain CT or brain MRI, which would be ordered in an emergency room and/or inpatient setting. 2.

A stroke in the left MCA causes symptoms on the right side of your body and visa-versa. Large-vessel strokes like MCA strokes affect large areas of the brain. Sometimes, only a branch of the MCA is blocked and the stroke is less severe. Blood clots that travel from the heart or carotid artery often cause MCA strokes.
