[Peculiarities of clinical course and rendering surgical care in acute arterial thromboses and spontaneous hematomas on the background of COVID-19].

Presented in the article is a retrospective analysis of treating a total of 36 patients in whom the course of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) was complicated by the development of acute arterial thromboses (23 subjects) and spontaneous hematomas (13 subjects). The course of COVID-19 infection in these patients was regarded as moderate, severe and extremely severe. Twenty patients with acute thrombosis and six patients with spontaneous hematomas were operated on. The interventions performed were as follows: thrombectomy from arterial segments of lower limbs at various levels, endovascular thromboaspiration, aortic endoprosthetic repair, limb amputation, hematoma drainage. Three patients with acute thrombosis and seven patients with spontaneous hematomas underwent only conservative treatment. Conclusion. Aggressive surgical policy in acute arterial thrombosis or spontaneous hematoma on the background of a severe course of the novel coronavirus infection is associated with a high but justified risk and a chance for a favorable outcome.
