| Sumario: | Acute thromboembolic events have been frequently reported in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) due to an increase in the coagulation system activity and endothelial dysfunction. This report describes a patient with COVID-19 who initially reported respiratory symptoms and developed acute lower limb ischemia secondary to extensive macrovascular arterial thrombosis, which was treated with thrombectomy. The development of such extensive arterial thrombosis with anticoagulants at therapeutic doses is a new sign of increased viral pathogenicity, and it is necessary to develop and apply updated prophylaxis protocols for thrombosis in these patients. |
