Which DRG corresponds to Transient ischemia without thrombolytic?

• A. DRG 65
• B. DRG 66
• C. DRG 67
• D. DRG 69

Answer: (D)

DRG grouping for cerebrovascular events separates cases by whether there is brain infarction and whether thrombolytic therapy was used. When the patient has transient ischemia and no thrombolytic therapy is given, it fits the DRG category for transient ischemia without thrombolytic treatment. This placement reflects the lower resource use typical of transient ischemic events compared with infarcted strokes and without the need for thrombolytic intervention. Hence the correct DRG is 69. The other options would correspond to cerebrovascular scenarios involving infarction or the use of thrombolytics, which do not match a transient ischemia case without thrombolysis.
