Sumario:The novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) affects all three branches of Virchow's triad. It increases the risk of thrombosis and thromboembolic events. Pulmonary embolism and stroke are most commonly reported. However, there is an increasing number of cases demonstrating thrombosis in otherwise uncommon anatomical areas. In this presentation, we will explore the potential causes of pulmonary vein thrombosis secondary to COVID-19.
