- Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an established risk factor for venous thrombosis. Treatment of pulmonary embolism (PE) of this etiology is standard, but the course of systemic thrombolysis is relatively poorly studied. The authors present the case of an 86-year-old woman with high-risk PE related to COVID-19 infection, who was treated with thrombolytic therapy with a very good clinical effect confirmed in additional studies.
