Bilateral proximal deep vein thrombosis and COVID‐19 in a patient with absence of inferior vena cava: A case report and review of literature

Abstract

Bilateral proximal deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in the lower extremities of young patients should raise suspicion over pro-thrombotic conditions and venous anatomical abnormalities, even in the presence of other precipitating factors, such as viral infection. The authors present a 33-year-old man with bilateral DVT and absence of inferior vena cava (AIVC), who also had concurrent COVID-19, and discuss the management of this patient.
