Abstract

Vascular complications are commonly associated with COVID-19 infection. Increasing reports suggest a close relationship between COVID-19 and venous thromboembolic diseases, including deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. Furthermore, COVID-19 has been linked to various aortic diseases such as aortic valve stenosis, aortic thrombosis, abdominal aortic aneurysm, aortic dissection, and limb ischemia. Consequently, understanding the causes and treatment of these vascular complications has become a critical aspect of comprehensive COVID-19 management. This article provides a review of aortic diseases and venous thromboembolic diseases that may be associated with COVID-19, aiming to explore potential mechanisms underlying the development of these vascular conditions and discuss strategies for preventing thrombosis in COVID-19 patients.

新型冠状病毒感染可能引发多种血管并发症。多项研究结果表明,新型冠状病毒感染与静脉栓塞性疾病如深静脉血栓、肺栓塞等的发生密切相关;且与部分主动脉疾病如主动脉瓣狭窄、主动脉内血栓形成、腹主动脉瘤、主动脉夹层、急慢性肢体缺血等的发生或发展存在一定关联。因此,对于新型冠状病毒感染导致的血管并发症的病因探索及治疗成为新型冠状病毒感染综合治疗的重要组成部分。本文对新型冠状病毒感染可能诱发的动脉疾病及静脉栓塞性疾病进行综述,旨在探讨新型冠状病毒感染引发上述血管疾病的可能机制及合并新冠病毒感染后患者的血栓防治策略。.
