Subtotal Thrombosis of the Left Pulmonary Artery Trunk as a Complication of COVID-19: a Clinical Case
https://doi.org/10.58838/2075-1230-2024-102-1-66-71
Abstract
The article describes a clinical case of a 62-year-old patient infected with SARS-CoV-2, in whom, 15 days after the onset of symptoms of COVID-19 with lung damage, chest computed tomography with contrast revealed concurrent subtotal obstruction of the pulmonary artery trunk and defects of its branches filling due to blood clots formed in situ. Against the background of anticoagulant therapy for 13 days, blood clots resolved in both central and peripheral parts of the lung venous bed.
