Case ReportsAcute infrarenal abdominal aortic occlusion in a patient with COVID-19.
A high rate of thrombotic complications have been observed in patients infected with COVID-19. These complications are related to increased blood hypercoagulabity, which can cause both venous and arterial thrombosis. We report a case of a 60-year-old man with COVID-19 pneumonia and thrombotic occlusion of the infrarenal abdominal aorta at the time of admission to the hospital. ⋯ A CT scan, which is necessary for diagnosis of COVID-19, and a CT angiography, can be used to diagnose thrombotic events. It should be kept in mind that arterial thrombosis can be present not only in hospitalized COVID-19 patients but also at the time of admission. SIMILAR CASES PUBLSHED: 1.
