La enfermedad grave por coronavirus 2019 está causada por el Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) y predispone a complicaciones trombóticas. En esta revisión se aborda de manera práctica la estrecha relación entre la tromboembolia venosa y la COVID-19, enfatizando aspectos epidemiológicos, factores de riesgo y tromboprofilaxis, así como potenciales opciones de anticoagulación. Actualmente la evidencia científica es muy escasa, pero día a día seguimos aprendiendo, estando atentos a cambios novedosos y dinámicos en esta enfermedad infecciosa e inmunotrombótica emergente.
Severe coronavirus disease 2019 is caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) and predisposes to thrombotic complications. In this review, we address the close relationship between venous thromboembolism and COVID-19, providing practical aspects on epidemiology, risk factors, and thromboprophylaxis, as well as potential options of anticoagulation. The scientific data on COVID-19 is scarce; however, day by day we continue to learn, being aware of the evolving and dynamic changes in this emerging infectious and immunothrombotic disease.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
