    Abstract

    The novel coronavirus pandemic is associated with coagulopathy and an increased risk of thromboembolic events. A case of an extensive arterial thrombus in the left leg of a patient that occurred after discharge from Covid-19 pneumonia is described. Some patients may be under continued risk of thromboembolism after discharge and the value of extended thromboprophylaxis should be investigated.

    Keywords: Arterial thromboembolism; Covid-19; Covid-19 associated coagulopathy; limb ischemia; thrombosis.
