Abstract

There has been a high incidence of thromboembolic diseases in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia. We present a case of a healthy 32-year-old male with no past medical history who presented with shortness of breath, tested positive for COVID-19, and was found to have a large acute saddle pulmonary embolism.
