Arterial thromboses: change of paradigm in the era of COVID-19 (review of literature)

This literature review focuses on the problem of peripheral arterial thrombosis in patients with COVID-19. Russian and international recommendations for the treatment of this cohort of patients were created in the period before the pandemic and do not take into account the new genesis of the development of the disease. In turn, this leads to the ineffectiveness of the existing methods of reperfusion, aimed primarily at removing the thrombus and administering anticoagulants/antiplatelet agents. The elimination of endotheliitis, as one of the key factors of arterial thrombosis, is not always possible, which is accompanied by the development of repeated thrombosis with further unfavorable events. The lack of prospective randomized trials, as well as information in the Interim Guidelines for the Prevention, Diagnosis and Treatment of New Coronavirus Infection (COVID-19) of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, where infectious coronavirus hospitals operate, creates uncertainty in the choice of methods for treating arterial thrombosis when infected with SARS-CoV -2. This trend is associated with a high rate of amputations and deaths in patients with COVID-19. To date, there is no method of revascularization in the presence of arterial thrombosis that demonstrates optimal results for patients with new coronavirus infection.
