Popis: | COVID-19 has been associated with multiple venous thromboembolism events such as pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis. Here we report a 64-year male with COVID-19 pneumonia who developed pulmonary thromboembolism following the COVID illness. This patient developed VTE complication in spite of receiving anti-coagulation therapy during admission. This case brings out the need for evidence-based post-discharge VTE prophylaxis approach and guidelines in patients who recover from COVID-19. |
