8B11.22 Cerebral ischaemic stroke due to paradoxical embolism

International Classification of Diseases for Mortality and Morbidity Statistics, 11th Revision, v2024-01

This is a sudden loss of brain function due to a lack of adequate blood flow. It is the result of a thromboembolism – a blood clot that detached and travelled through the blood vessels – that originated in the venous system. Because of a heart defect, it passes through to the systemic circulation system, instead of becoming lodged in the lungs.
