A 59-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with severe popliteal fossa pain and mild left calf claudication. He had had an episode of pyrexia and dyspnea approximately 3 weeks prior. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed acute occlusion of the left popliteal artery and multiple infiltration shadows with bilateral multifocal parenchymal consolidation of the lungs, suggesting post-coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia. As he had no comorbid risk of cardiogenic embolism or atherosclerosis, we diagnosed him with COVID-19-related arterial thrombosis. COVID-19-related arterial thrombosis should be considered a possible cause of acute limb ischemia, even when ischemic symptoms occur several weeks post infection.
Keywords: COVID-19-related thrombosis; acute limb ischemia; in situ thrombosis.
