Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the cause of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), is associated with a high incidence of thrombotic complications involving both the arterial and the venous systems. However, concurrent arterial and venous thrombosis is extremely rare. Herein, we present the case of a 75-year-old male patient with severe COVID-19 who developed bilateral renal artery thrombosis and pulmonary embolism during the disease course. To our knowledge, this is the first such case described in the literature.
SARS-CoV-2-related coagulopathy is associated with both arterial and venous thrombotic events, which increase morbidity and mortality.Concurrent arterial and venous thrombotic events attributed to SARS-CoV-2 are extremely rare.A high index of clinical suspicion is required, while further research is needed to determine the optimal type, dose and duration of anticoagulation in such cases.
严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)是2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)的病原体,与涉及动脉和静脉系统的血栓形成并发症的高发生率相关。然而,同时发生动脉和静脉血栓形成极为罕见。在此,我们报告一例75岁男性重症COVID-19患者,其在病程中发生双侧肾动脉血栓形成和肺栓塞。据我们所知,这是文献中描述的首例此类病例。
SARS-CoV-2相关凝血病与动脉和静脉血栓形成事件均相关,这会增加发病率和死亡率。由SARS-CoV-2引起的同时发生的动脉和静脉血栓形成事件极为罕见。需要高度的临床怀疑指数,同时需要进一步研究以确定此类病例中抗凝的最佳类型、剂量和持续时间。
