Mechanical Thrombectomy in Pulmonary Embolism Associated with COVID-19: A “Clotography” Gallery

Venous thromboembolism from a “thrombotic storm”–like syndrome is major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with active or “recovered” COVID-19. Patients should be risk-stratified, optimally by pulmonary embolism (PE) response team (PERT), considered for escalation care if found intermediate high-risk PE. We present series COVID-19-associated PE thrombotic storm D-dimer >10 000 ng/mL who underwent successful mechanical thrombectomy to All had immediate improvement hemodynamics large amounts thrombi were retrieved.
