71-year-old man with COVID-19 pneumonia. A. Unenhanced CT image of the chest in the axial plane obtained at admission shows bilateral and peripheral ground-glass opacities associated with posterior consolidations. B. Dual-energy CT angiography image of the chest in the axial plane on hospital day 3 shows a filling defect (arrow) in the anterior basal branch of the right inferior lobe pulmonary artery. C. Iodine map image demonstrates a segmental perfusion defect (arrowhead) related to the occlusive pulmonary embolism in the right lower lobe. D. CT angiography image of the chest in the axial plane reveals a filling defect (arrow) within the aorta. E. CT angiography image of the abdominal aorta in the coronal plane performed on hospital day 3 confirms intra-aortic free-floating thrombus (arrow) at the thoraco-abdominal junction.
