ABSTRACT
SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) infection is a current public health problem that has been shown to cause multiple complications, including pulmonary thromboembolism. The first presented case is a 59-year-old woman with a history of COPD, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and COVID-19 infection in September 2020, consultation in December 2020 for atypical chest pain with suspected PE, AngioCT of pulmonary vessels was performed negative for emboli, subsequently [99mTc]Tc MAA SPECT/CT was indicated with a report of multiple triangular defects concerning acute pulmonary thromboembolism. A second case is a 70-year-old man with a history of dyslipidaemia, presented COVID-19 infection in September 2020 with a complication of PE with involvement of the left pulmonary artery, followed by [99mTc]Tc MAA SPECT/CT report multiple triangular and not triangles defects concerning pulmonary thromboembolism with signs of reperfusion.
