S35: Injury of blood vessels at abdomen, lower back and pelvis level

Injuries of blood vessels at the abdomen, lower back, and pelvis level cover a number of conditions marked by damage to the blood vessels in these specific areas. These can occur due to traumatic events like falls, road accidents, or penetrating injuries like a stab or gunshot wound. Damage may be to larger vessels, such as the abdominal aorta, or smaller vessels supplying the internal organs. Symptoms can vary widely, from vague discomfort to severe pain, and may be accompanied by blood in urine or stool, depending on the exact location and extent of the injury. Delay in pulse or elevated heart rate can occur as the body tries to compensate for blood loss. Disease progression can potentially lead to serious complications, like internal bleeding, if not promptly addressed. Most commonly affected systems are the circulatory and possibly the gastrointestinal or urinary systems, depending on the blood vessels involved.
