Coagulation abnormalities are common sequelae of the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), frequently associated with an increased incidence of thrombotic cardiovascular complications. Herein, we describe the case of a 46-year-old man who presented with COVID-19 pneumonia, and later developed extensive deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of left lower limb despite of prophylactic antithrombotic treatment, which was managed successfully with endovenous intervention.


KEY WORDS: COVID-19; Blood coagulation disorders; Venous thrombosis; Thromboembolism
