The disease caused by the 2019 novel coronavirus is known predominantly for its respiratory outcomes; a subset of critically ill patients demonstrates clinically remarkable hypercoagulability in which thrombotic events range from acute pulmonary embolism in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia to extremity ischemia. Our observational study aimed to describe the incidence and characteristics, as well as clinical outcomes, of patients presenting and treated for mesenteric ischemia during the COVID-19 pandemic. Material and Methods. Between March 13 and May 13, 2020, 60 patients operated for emergency reasons were analyzed, and it was noticed that 5 of the 6 COVID-positive patients were operated due to mesenteric ischemia. Results. Five of sixty patients (83.3%) applied to our emergency clinic with COVID-19 positive and acute abdomen. Two of them (40%) did not have any comorbidities. All of them (%100) were male. There were no complications and only 1 death (20%). Mean leukocyte, neutrophil, and platelet levels were within the normal range, while the lymphocyte level was near the lower limit. C-Reactive Protein was above the limit in all patients. The mean levels of International Normalized Ratio, Platelet, and Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time were above the limits. While D-dimer levels were close to the upper limit; fibrinogen levels were above the normal limit for each patient. Conclusion. The presence of hypercoagulation status in critical COVID-19 patients should be observed closely, and anticoagulation therapy can be considered in selected patients. More clinical data are needed to examine the role of anticoagulation in COVID-19 treatment.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1553350620962892","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,30]],"date-time":"2020-09-30T09:48:18Z","timestamp":1601459298000},"page":"236-238","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Is Mesenteric Ischemia In COVID-19 Patients A Surprise?"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"28","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0583-6440","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Talar","family":"Vartanoglu Aktokmakyan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"General Surgery Department, Istanbul Bagcilar Training and Research Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Merve","family":"Tokocin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"General Surgery Department, Istanbul Bagcilar Training and Research Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Serhat","family":"Meric","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"General Surgery Department, Istanbul Bagcilar Training and Research Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fatih","family":"Celebi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"General Surgery Department, Istanbul Bagcilar Training and Research Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,30]]},"reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"bibr1-1553350620962892","first-page":"185","volume":"41","author":"Heng M","year":"2020","journal-title":"Chin J Hematol"},{"key":"bibr2-1553350620962892","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.thromres.2020.04.013"},{"key":"bibr3-1553350620962892","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S2213-2600(20)30117-X"},{"issue":"0","key":"bibr4-1553350620962892","first-page":"E006","volume":"41","author":"Zhang Y","year":"2020","journal-title":"Chin J Hematol"},{"key":"bibr5-1553350620962892","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMc2007575"},{"key":"bibr6-1553350620962892","first-page":"1708","volume":"382","author":"Guan W","year":"2020","journal-title":"Respir Med"},{"key":"bibr7-1553350620962892","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jth.14768"}],"container-title":["Surgical Innovation"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/1553350620962892","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1177\/1553350620962892","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/1553350620962892","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,2]],"date-time":"2026-05-02T07:22:17Z","timestamp":1777706537000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/1553350620962892"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,30]]},"references-count":7,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2021,4]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/1553350620962892"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/1553350620962892","relation":{},"ISSN":["1553-3506","1553-3514"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1553-3506","type":"print"},{"value":"1553-3514","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,30]]}}}
