Severe COVID-19 post pregnancy complicated by acute thromboemboli resulting in ST-elevation myocardial infarction - A case report

Conclusions: The center for disease control (CDC) surveillance has reported that pregnant patients with COVID-19 are more likely to require invasive ventilation and ECMO, and die given the immunological changes during pregnancy. Hypercoagulable state caused by combination of pregnancy and COVID-19 resulting in coronary thrombosis is rarely described in literature, our case demonstrated the paucity of this phenomenon.PMID:38233341 | DOI:10.1177/02676591241228173
