    Snippet: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) or COVID-19 is the virus responsible for the 2019 global pandemic. Pulmonary complications of COVID-19 are well established in the literature. However, the virus causes numerous extrapulmonary manifestations, notably acute aortic occlusion (AAO). COVID-19 creates a hypercoagulable state via the upregulation of numerous procoagulant cytokines in endothelial cells of blood vessels. We present a case of a 63-year-old patient without a pre
    Document: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) or COVID-19 is the virus responsible for the 2019 global pandemic. Pulmonary complications of COVID-19 are well established in the literature. However, the virus causes numerous extrapulmonary manifestations, notably acute aortic occlusion (AAO). COVID-19 creates a hypercoagulable state via the upregulation of numerous procoagulant cytokines in endothelial cells of blood vessels. We present a case of a 63-year-old patient without a previous history of prothrombotic disorders who developed AAO in the distal abdominal aorta and bilateral common iliac arteries after contracting COVID-19. The patient was a poor surgical candidate and was treated with fibrinolytics that were administered via an EkoSonicâ„¢ Endovascular System (EKOS) catheter using a bilateral transfemoral approach. This case highlights a unique treatment option for non-surgical candidates with AAO.
