Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been a devastating condition claiming millions of lives, crippling countless people, and causing economic turmoil all over the world since the outbreak started in Wuhan Province of China in December 2019. Numerous papers have been published in the literature about COVID-19-related complications affecting almost all systems in the human body. One of the severe complications of this disease is thromboembolism, which affects both the arterial and venous systems and is well documented. There are few reports about both arterial and venous system involvement in the same patient. Herein, we report the case of COVID-19, who presented with critical limb ischemia caused by both arterial and venous thrombosis.
Keywords: acute limb ischemia; covid-19; deep venous thrombosis; hypercoagulability; thromboembolism.
