Injury of right iliac vein, sequela

This code signifies a long-term or late-developing complication resulting from a past injury to the right iliac vein. These sequelae can manifest as chronic pain, venous insufficiency, or other persistent issues directly attributable to the original trauma.

Apply this code when documenting conditions that are residual effects of a previously sustained injury to the right iliac vein, and the acute phase of the original injury has passed. This is appropriate for follow-up encounters where the patient is being treated for the lasting consequences of the initial trauma.

• Always ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past right iliac vein injury.
• This "S" (sequela) seventh character indicates that the current encounter is for the late effects of the injury.
• Do not use this code for the initial treatment of an acute right iliac vein injury.
