Abstract

Thrombotic complications associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID- 19) have been described, these have mainly included venous thromboembolic events. Limited literature is available regarding arterial thrombosis. Acute limb ischemia is associated with severe complications that can result in significant morbidity and mortality. Herein, we report three cases of COVID-19 infection complicated by arterial thrombosis in the form of acute limb ischemia. Our case series adds to the limited literature regarding arterial thrombosis.
