PATIENT 1
A 61-year old male presented to the emergency room complaining fever and dyspnea; his SARS-CoV-2 nasopharyngeal swab was positive and chest x-ray demonstrated smooth airspace opacities in the lower left lung. Six days after the admission the patient reported acute lower limbs pain with no femoral pulses. CECT showed a complete occlusion of the infrarenal abdominal aorta (Figure 1), with thrombus extending into the common and external iliac arteries and into the common femoral arteries requiring urgent bilateral surgical thrombectomy; anticoagulation therapy with heparin was started. Thoracic CT findings were typical for COVID-19, with bilateral peripheral ground glass opacities, crazy-paving appearance, lack of pleural effusion. Nine days after the admission (three after surgery), the patient developed lower back pain associated with haemoglobin drop and the CT demonstrated bilateral lumbar hematoma, treated with endovascular embolization.
