Anticoagulation failure in pulmonary thromboembolism in COVID-19 pneumonia despite prolonged anticoagulation: A case series.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Moderate to severely ill patients diagnosed with Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia develop a series of complications and less frequently, we might witness cases of Pulmonary Thromboembolism (PE)-refractory to the standard treatment with Low Molecular Weight Heparin (LMWH). The aim of this case series is to report the presentation and management of pulmonary thromboembolism secondary to COVID-19 pneumonia.

Method

We report a case series of seven cases aged 40-70 who were presented in Dhulikhel Hospital with COVID-19 symptoms in different stages. The case details were extracted from their medical reports of the hospital. The written informed ethical consents were obtained from all the cases and their voluntary participation was assured.
