Abstrakt: A 53-year-old woman visited her district hospital complaining of right lower limb numbness 8 days after being diagnosed with COVID-19. She had been suffering diarrhea for 25 days before the hospital visit. Computed tomography showed multiple arterial and venous thromboses, and anticoagulation with a therapeutic dose of heparin was initiated. Acute aortic occlusion occurred on hospital day 5, and balloon thromboembolectomy was performed for revascularization of the lower limbs 9 hours after onset. Ulcerative colitis was diagnosed on postoperative day 7. With the anticoagulation and immunosuppression therapy, no thromboembolic event occurred postoperatively.
