Bilateral Pulmonary Embolism in Patients Recovered From Asymptomatic COVID-19 Infection
Hypercoagulability state is common in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), especially those requiring intensive care. Indeed, anticoagulation therapy is recommended for all hospitalized COVID-19-patients. Despite well-conducted thromboprophylaxis, so many patients have developed these...

description | Hypercoagulability state is common in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), especially those requiring intensive care. Indeed, anticoagulation therapy is recommended for all hospitalized COVID-19-patients. Despite well-conducted thromboprophylaxis, so many patients have developed these life-threatening complications. However, these thrombotic events are not known to occur in asymptomatic COVID-19 patients or in those recovered from active severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection. This case series of a bilateral pulmonary embolism that occurred in patients recovered from asymptomatic COVID-19 highlights the questions about extending thromboprophylaxis in ambulatory patients with COVID-19. |
