Abstrakt:	The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic created an unprecedented challenge for healthcare, and the world continues to struggle in recovering from its aftermath. COVID-19 has been clearly linked to hypercoagulable states and can lead to end-organ ischemia, morbidity, and mortality. Immunosuppressed solid organ transplant recipients represent a highly vulnerable population for the increased risk of complications and mortality. Early venous or arterial thrombosis with acute graft loss after whole pancreas transplantation is well-described, but late thrombosis is rare. We herein report a case of acute, late pancreas graft thrombosis at 13 years post pancreas-after-kidney (PAK) transplantation coinciding with an acute COVID-19 infection in a previously double-vaccinated recipient.
