Arterial mesenteric thrombosis in COVID-19 positive patient: A case report.

COVID-19 has resulted in the death of a number of people around the world. Complications of COVID-19 including coagulopathy may contribute to the development of arterial ischemic events. Mesenterial thrombosis is a late complication of the disease. This clinical case presented the role of hypercoagulation in the clinical picture of the COVID-19 patients, which increased the risk of death.

Asymptomatic COVID-19 and ST-elevation myocardial infarction in young adults: lessons learned from two similar cases.

We present two cases of acute myocardial infarction in young patients with asymptomatic COVID-19 infection and ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), complicated by severe acute heart failure and ventricular fibrillation, resulting cardiopulmonary resuscitation and mechanical ventilatory support. Urgent primary percutaneous coronary intervention with further complex treatment was effective in both cases with critical cardiovascular state and co-morbid COVID-19 infection. This report illustrates the challenges in clinical severity of STEMI with COVID-19 infection, despite of young age and absence of clinical symptoms and chronic co-morbidities. STEMI patients with even asymptomatic COVID-19 infection may be presented with significantly higher rates of severe acute heart failure.
