Pulmonary embolism in coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) and use of compression ultrasonography in its optimal management

We read with enormous interest the recent article by D.C. Rotzinger et.al entitled “Pulmonary embolism in patients with COVID-19: Time to change the paradigm of computed tomography” wherein they discussed and advocated the use of computed tomographic angiography (CTA) in patients of severe COVID-19 with clinical suspicion of pulmonary embolism (PE) [1]. However, the idea of li beral use of CTA in every severe COVID-19 pneumonia with suspected PE may not be feasible in many situations in the current pandemic context and thus we must look for easy alternatives which can reliably aid in the diagnosis and management of PE.
