Isolated pulmonary embolism following COVID vaccination: 2 case reports and a review of post-acute pulmonary embolism complications and follow-up

Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is a frequent cause of hypoxemic respiratory failure and presentation to the emergency department. The incidence is on the increase since the COVID-19 outbreak. While COVID infection represents a prothrombotic state, the introduction of COVID vaccines to a lesser extent...
