Acute mesenteric arterial thrombosis in severe SARS-Co-2 patient

Year: 2021

Type: article

Abstract: INTRODUCTION: CoV-2 infection generates a pro-inflammatory state, which conditions the formation of thrombi that can affect any system. Multi-organ dysfunction is a cause of death, mesenteric ischemia in COVID 2019 patients reported is 1.9-4%. DESCRIPTION OF THE CASE: We present the case of a 73-year-old male patient who started with severe SARS-CoV-2 and arterial-type intestinal ischemia, necrosis of 3 m of the small intestine, based on SCARE 2020 guide. DISCUSSION: Complications secondary to thrombosis are as follows; myocardial infarction 1.1%, ischemic cerebral events, 2.5-3.7%, microvascular thrombosis including mesenteric ischemia in less than 1% of cases. In patients with mesenteric ischemia the reported postoperative mortality is 23.8% of patients especially during the first 30 days. CONCLUSION: Intestinal thrombosis in patients with SARS-CoV-2 increases mortality.
