Stating that the inferior vena cava is dilated is a finding, not a diagnosis. If the finding caused a problem, that'd be your DX. Is there a documented diagnosis to correspond with those findings?

Inferior vena cava (IVC) is a large collapsible vein whose diameter and extent of inspiratory collapse are known to correlate with right atrial (RA) pressures; hence, IVC dilatation represents a cardiac pathology. IVC dilatation in the absence of any cardiac involvement is termed as idiopathic.
Anomalous portal venous connection Q26. 5 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Q26. 5 became effective on October 1, 2021.
The IVC diameter is affected by right heart function, as well as conditions like IVC aneurysm or Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS), which directly or indirectly increase the volume of the blood in the right heart or increase the back pressure on the systemic circulation ultimately leading to IVC dilation [2,3].
Inferior Vena Cava may appear congested when it's dilated without any respiratory variation collapsed with very small diameter through the respiratory cycle, or compliant and vary through respiratory cycle. But how IVC looks like depends on how the patientis breathing, spontaneouslyvs mechanically ventilated.
Your inferior vena cava is a large and long vein that has one valve where it meets your right atrium.
Other specified disorders of veins I87. 8 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I87. 8 became effective on October 1, 2021.
ICD-10 code I81 for Portal vein thrombosis is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .
Portal hypertensive colopathy (PHC) is a condition in which changes occur in the mucosal membrane of colon in patients affected with portal hypertension and liver cirrhosis.
Inferior vena cava (IVC) is normally 1.5 to 2.5 cm in diameter (measured 3 cm from right atrium)
The IVC lies along the right anterolateral aspect of the vertebral column and passes through the central tendon of the diaphragm around the T8 vertebral level. The IVC is a large blood vessel responsible for transporting deoxygenated blood from the lower extremities and abdomen back to the right atrium of the heart.

The Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries is a list of ICD-10 codes, organized "head to toe" into chapters and sections with coding notes and guidance for inclusions, exclusions, descriptions and more. The following references are applicable to the code I87.8:
Types of treatments for vascular diseases include. Lifestyle changes, such as eating a heart-healthy diet and getting more exercise. Medicines, such as blood pressure medicines, blood thinners, cholesterol medicines, and clot-dissolving drugs.
I87.8 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of other specified disorders of veins. The code I87.8 is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.
