Ultrasound demonstration of thrombotic events in patients admitted with SARS-Cov2. Deep vein ultrasound showing (a—ESM1) the internal jugular vein with a thrombus surrounding a central catheter (central white point) and (b—ESM2) a thrombus of superficial and common femoral vein (white asterisk). Transthoracic echocardiography subcostal view demonstrating (c—ESM3) a thrombus in the right ventricular cavity, attached to the tricuspid valve (white arrow) and (d—ESM4) parasternal short axis view in patient with right ventricular dilatation (right ventricular/left ventricular area 0.7) inducing interventricular paradoxical septal motion
