A case report of multiple artery pseudoaneurysms associated with SARS-CoV-2

Arterial pseudoaneurysms are rare vascular abnormalities that can occur as a complication of infections. Artery pseudoaneurysms associated with SARS-CoV-2 are a rare occurrence in COVID-19 patients, and their rupture can result in significant hemorrhage and sudden death. Few cases of SARS-CoV-2-asso...

Sumario:Arterial pseudoaneurysms are rare vascular abnormalities that can occur as a complication of infections. Artery pseudoaneurysms associated with SARS-CoV-2 are a rare occurrence in COVID-19 patients, and their rupture can result in significant hemorrhage and sudden death. Few cases of SARS-CoV-2-associated artery pseudoaneurysms have been reported, and their underlying pathophysiological mechanisms remain unclear. This study presents the first reported case of a patient who developed both pulmonary and gallbladder artery pseudoaneurysms following SARS-CoV-2 infection. We investigate the potential pathogenesis of these pseudoaneurysms and aim to improve the understanding of this rare complication.
