Delayed onset phlegmasia cerulea dolens post-SARS-CoV-2 infection treated with minimally invasive clot retrieval technology

Analysis and Literature Review of Deep Vein Thrombosis Related Phlegmasia Cerulea Dolens Diagnosis in Critically Patients

“…Critically ill patients often have multiple PCD susceptibility factors such as hypercoagulation, heart failure, and trauma, which is a rare condition leading to severe limb ischemia, caused by early arterial flow obstruction secondary to extensive deep vein thrombosis [17]. Subsequently, the author searched through Pub again with the keywords "Intensive Care Unit, phlegmasia cerulea dolens", which only found a few related articles mentioning that COVID-19 infection was associated with the onset of the disease, which was linked with significant venous thromboembolism after neocoronavirus infection [18] [19]. Carey M et al also reported a case of a 58-year-old woman who developed delayed left lower extremity femoral bruising 8 weeks after coronavirus infection, leading to severe complications [19].…”

The author also searched through China National Knowledge Infrastructure and Wanfang with the keywords "neocoronavirus PCD" and "COVID-19 PCD" and found that there is no such literature issued in China yet.…”
