Acute aortic thrombosis associated with COVID-19 infection

ABSTRACT

Introduction: COVID-19 infection has been associated with significant coagulation disorders, particularly hyperco-agulable states. We present two cases of aortic thrombosis associated with COVID-19 infection and their outcome. Case report case 1. Patient with asymptomatic aortic arch thrombosis. Case 2. Patient with aortoiliac thrombosis with acute lower extremity ischemia. Discussion: up to 20 %of patients with COVID-19 have some complication, including bleeding disorders. Surgical treatment of patients with COVID-19 infection and arterial complications poses a complex scenario when deciding on therapeutic conduct.
