PATIENT 2
A 60-year old male was diagnosed of COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2 positive
nasopharyngeal swab) after a week of fever, cough and shortness of
breath. Mechanical ventilation was needed. Fifteen days later because of
the worsening respiratory status the patient underwent CT that showed
typical COVID-19 pulmonary findings and right pulmonary embolism. In the
following days there was a worsening of the respiratory status with
development of ARDS. One month after his admission the patient developed
acute mesenteric ischemia: CT showed non-occlusive thrombus in the
proximal superior mesenteric artery (Figure 2) and endoluminal
irregularities of the middle colic artery.
