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?
Injury of inferior vena cava. S35.1 should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail. The 2019 edition of ICD-10-CM S35.1 became effective on October 1, 2018.

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.
Inferior vena cava syndrome (IVCS) is a very rare constellation of symptoms resulting from either an obstruction, or stenosis of the inferior vena cava. It can be caused by physical invasion or compression by a pathological process or by thrombosis within the vein itself. It can also occur during pregnancy.
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.
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.
ICD-10 code I81 for Portal vein thrombosis is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .
Our second observation shows that IVC diameter in young, healthy adults, without cardiac pathologic conditions, is frequently above 20 mm—commonly regarded as an upper limit of normal and a noninvasive indication of increased right atrial pressure in patients with cardiac or renal disease.
What causes superior vena cava syndrome? SVCS is caused when the flow of blood in the SVC vein slows. This vein carries blood from the head, neck, chest, and arms to the heart. Blood flow may be slowed by a blood clot, a tumor, or because the vein is being compressed by nearby tissue.
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.
