Wiki Amyloid Angiopathy??

[klamm]

What is the best code to use for amyloid angiopathy? ICD9 book leads me to 277.30 which refers to the endocrine system. The patient is being seen for a stroke and the doctor states that the patient has amyloid angiopathy which puts him at a higher risk for another stroke.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
