Vascular findings in CTA body and extremity of critically ill COVID-19 patients: commonly encountered vascular complications with review of literature

“…These patients are usually managed with anticoagulation therapy as a standard of care unless vascular intervention such as thromboembolectomy is required for larger occlusive thrombus in order to prevent emboli shower [1,28,29]. Although rare, these aortic thromboses have also been associated with occlusion of distal end arteries affecting organs such as the kidney and spleen [29][30][31] (Fig. 3).…”

Acute Aortic Stent Graft Thrombosis in Patient with Recent COVID-19 Infection

“…As described in the literature [1,2], COVID-19 infection burdens people with a high rate of thrombotic complications. The status of increased blood hypercoagulability, probably due to systemic hyper-inflammation and endothelial dysfunction, is associated with both venous and arterial thrombosis [3,4]. Arterial thrombosis accounts for about 4% of thromboembolic complications during COVID-19.…”
