Acute lower limb ischemia in an ICU admitted patient diagnosed with the COVID-19: A case report

Abstract

Thromboembolic events have been reported in the hospitalized patient since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemics. ICU-admitted patients demonstrated a significantly higher risk of developing VTE. Although evidence of arterial thrombosis was less common in ICU-admitted patients, consequences were typically more severe, including limb loss and death. This study reports another ICU-admitted patient with lower extremity arterial thrombosis diagnosed with COVID-19.
