Popis: Introduction Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) has been increasingly associated with thromboembolic complications. COVID-19 infection has a thrombogenic potential for stents. Herein, we report a case of stent thrombosis in diabetic obese patient COVID-19 positive where was previously released a Multilayer Flow Modulator stent (MFM) for large popliteal aneurysm. Case report A 78-year-old male was referred to our hospital for fever and acute pain in the left leg. At history, the same patient had endovascular procedure for a large symptomatic popliteal aneurysm, treated through release of three MFM. The pulmonary CT scan showed COVID-19 infection with confirm of rhino-laryngeal swab. Duplex ultrasound and CT-angiography showed complete thrombosis of stents. The treatment consisted of mechanical thrombectomy using an 8Fr catheter Rotarex plus release of Vibahn stent-graft. Discussion COVID-19 patients can present arterial occlusion. In literature are not reported cases about thrombosis peripheral stent. Minimally invasive approaches in redo-procedure reduce risk of infection. Rotarex device was used in revascularization of acute and subacute iliac and femoropopliteal arteries. The goal is to have a debulking, to avoid an incomplete deployment of stent-graft. In our precedent experience, MFM and stent-graft to treatment of popliteal aneurism were safe. It is important to monitor these patients for early identification of failure and rapprochement. In this case, the COVID-19 infection was determinant in promoting thrombosis. Conclusions COVID-19 increases risk of thrombosis stent. In our experience debulking through Rotarex and stenting, were decisive factors for revascularization and limb salvage.
