Subacute dual stent thromboses in a COVID-19-positive patient

Jacques Liebenberg et al. Cardiovasc J Afr. 2022.

Abstract

The hypercoagulable state of COVID-19 is resulting in an increasing number of unexpected venous and arterial thromboses in patients. We report a case of subacute dual coronary stent thrombosis in the setting of COVID-19 and we provide a brief review of current management recommendations.

Keywords: COVID‐19; STEMI; ST‐elevation myocardial infarction; subacute stent thrombosis.
