Cerebral embolism with cerebral infarction. ICD-9-CM 434.11 is a billable medical code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis on a reimbursement claim, however, 434.11 should only be used for claims with a date of service on or before September 30, 2015.
I63.9 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM I63.9 became effective on October 1, 2020. ... The other kind, called hemorrhagic stroke, is caused by a blood vessel that breaks and bleeds into the brain. "mini-strokes" or transient ischemic attacks ...

ICD-9-CM Diagnosis Code 434.91 : Cerebral artery occlusion, unspecified with cerebral infarction.
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.
I63. 9 - Cerebral infarction, unspecified | ICD-10-CM.
Cerebrovascular disease refers to a group of conditions, diseases, and disorders that affect the blood vessels and blood supply to the brain. If a blockage, malformation, or hemorrhage prevents the brain cells from getting enough oxygen, brain damage can result.

The term ischemia means that blood flow to a tissue has decreased, which results in hypoxia, or insufficient oxygen in that tissue, whereas infarction goes one step further and means that blood flow has been completely cut off, resulting in necrosis, or cellular death.
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.
Ischemic Stroke. Hemorrhagic Stroke. Transient Ischemic Attack (Mini-Stroke) Brain Stem Stroke.
Ischemic strokes and Hemorrhagic strokes can cause lesioning in the thalamus. So if you have Dx as a Thalamic Stroke then as per Index of diseases of ICD 9 CM, 434.91 is the only option.
Without blood and nutrients, your brain tissue quickly begins to die, which can have lasting effects. A thalamic stroke is a type of lacunar stroke, which refers to a stroke in a deep part of your brain. Thalamic strokes occur in your thalamus, a small but important part of your brain.
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.
435.9Transient ischemic attack / ICD 9
In ICD-9, essential hypertension was coded using 401.0 (malignant), 401.1 (benign), or 401.9 (unspecified). ICD-10 uses only a single code for individuals who meet criteria for hypertension and do not have comorbid heart or kidney disease. That code is I10, Essential (primary) hypertension.

Available hospital charts for all patients discharged from the Durham Veterans Affairs Medical Center between May 1995 and June 1997 with ICD-9-CM codes 433, 434, and 436 listed in the primary position were reviewed by the investigator (n=175 of 198, 88%).
Of the 175 reviewed cases, 61% (n=106) had an acute ischemic stroke, and the remaining patients (n=69, 39%) had other conditions. The most common other reasons for hospitalization are given in Table 2. Over 50% of the patients with conditions other than ischemic stroke were hospitalized for cerebral angiography or carotid endarterectomy.
Despite the use of modifier codes, approximately 15% to 20% of patients with the indicated primary ICD-9-CM discharge codes had conditions other than acute ischemic stroke. As has been reported previously, 5 the highest proportion of nonstroke diagnoses had discharge code 433, and less than 2% of these patients had an acute stroke.
