S35.8: Injury of other blood vessels at abdomen, lower back and pelvis level

An injury of other blood vessels at the abdomen, lower back, and pelvis level refers to damage sustained by blood vessels that are not included in the major category of abdominal, pelvic, and lower back blood vessels. These blood vessels carry oxygen-rich blood from the heart to support the function of other organs in this region. This kind of trauma can be precipitated by several factors, such as vehicle collisions, falls, sports injuries, or surgical procedures. Common indicators can include pain, swelling, bruising or a noticeable change in color in these areas, alongside potential internal symptoms like lower abdominal discomfort and blood in urine or stools if internal bleeding occurs. These injuries may be associated with damage to nearby organs or structures, and if left untreated, complication could arise leading to serious health complications.
