Excerpt

  • During COVID-19 pandemic emergency, a patient with a previous undiagnosed subclinical COVID-19 underwent urgent surgery for removal of a big intracranial tumor.
  • The patient developed severe APE secondary to atrial catheter-related thrombosis in the post-craniotomy clinical course.
  • Previous COVID-19 is suspected to be the main cause of the prothrombotic status of this patient, otherwise healthy and without any other risk factor for DVT/APE.
  • The temporal evolution of the hypercoagulability state in COVID-19 is still unknown.
  • Special attention is required when planning major surgical procedures in patients with previous COVID-19.
