| Abstrakt: | The Covid-19 pandemic caused by the Sars-Cov-2 virus created challenges and stimulated development of new forms of treatment in many different areas of medicine. Studies have described the clinical characteristics of patients and their outcomes, including disorders affecting the coagulation system, in which patients infected by the virus enter a hypercoagulable and proinflammatory state that mimics vasculitis. The objective of this study was to describe the clinical status and the treatment administered to three patients who developed acute arterial occlusion after Covid-19 infection. The management adopted in these cases enabled the patients to recover without sequelae. The low incidence and scarcity of published reports make it difficult to establish universally accepted treatment criteria and options for cases of ischemia in patients infected with the novel coronavirus, whether presenting early or late.
