RESUMO
The emergence of COVID-19 has caused a wide spectrum of symptoms, ranging from asymptomatic to devastating symptoms, leading to death. One of the most serious complications of COVID-19 is the thromboembolic phenomenon, which has led to increased morbidity and mortality. Several vaccines were developed to protect against this infection and used widely across the globe. However, thromboembolic events were observed in the vaccinated population and were certainly the most commonly reported events following the COVID-19 vaccination. Although the thrombotic complications of COVID-19 were poorly understood, hyper-inflammatory responses were thought to be one of the main explanations for this infection sequel. In the setting of COVID-19 vaccines, there is still no clear understanding of the thrombosis pathophysiology, and, again, exaggerated pro-inflammatory and immune-mediated processes seem to be leading causes. Definitely, with the rise in reported cases of serious complications and increased awareness of these phenomena, we learn new theories and explanations that help us understand and manage those patients. We report the case report of two patients we managed over the last three years who presented with thrombotic microangiopathy following the COVID-19 vaccination.
