Severe arterial thrombosis associated with Covid-19 infection

Mahine Kashi et al. Thromb Res. 2020 Aug.

Abstract

  1. •

    Unlike venous thromboembolism, no data are available on arterial thrombosis in SARS-CoV2 infected patients.

  2. •

    We observed severe arterial thrombotic complications despite the use of antiplatelet or anticoagulant therapy.

  3. •

    We described five irreversible lower limb ischemia and two thoracic aortic free floating thrombi.

  4. •

    Further studies are needed to evaluate the necessity of therapeutic anticoagulation in COVID-19 patients.

Keywords: Arterial thrombosis; COVID-19; Floating aortic thrombus; Lower limb ischemia; SARS-CoV2 infection.
