A computed tomography angiogram of the abdominal aorta and lower extremities showed, in the absence of vascular disease, a subocclusive thrombosis of the right common iliac artery and an occlusion of the right internal iliac, profunda femoral, and popliteal arteries. On the left side, the computed tomography angiogram demonstrated a non-occlusive thrombosis of the common femoral artery. The patient underwent emergency surgical thrombectomy as well as endovascular revascularization on the right side followed by therapeutic anticoagulation, with normalization of the limb perfusion. A nasopharyngeal swab for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) by real-time reverse transcription\u2013PCR (rRT\u2013PCR) was negative three times. Haemostasis analysis showed a mild hyperfibrinogenaemia and a shortening of the activated partial thromboplastin time. An extensive screening for cardio-embolism was negative. As the thrombotic event was unexplained, antibody testing for SARS-CoV-2 was performed and the result was positive.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolisms have been observed in COVID-19.
