Numerous clinical and post-mortem investigations of COVID-19 cases have found myriad clinical and pathological manifestations of the disease. In this report, we present three autopsy cases in which, despite weaning from extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), extensive intestinal epithelial shedding, probably due to ischemia, was followed by massive watery diarrhea and the spread of infection via the portal vein due to bacterial translocation, which resulted in cholangitis lenta. Thrombophilia was attributed to ECMO usage and COVID-19-related vascular endothelial damage. These cases provide instructive findings showing that the loss of the intestinal barrier may be the underlying cause of severe watery diarrhea and liver failure in COVID-19 patients, especially with ECMO usage.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/omcr\/omad031","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,21]],"date-time":"2023-04-21T13:08:21Z","timestamp":1682082501000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Ischemia-induced
