Abstract

In this case report, a 75-year-old unvaccinated female patient presented with hypoxaemia, and she was admitted to an intensive care unit. After four days her left hand was discoloured blue, and fibrin D-dimer was elevated. An angiogram showed occlusion in the arteria radialis at the level of the bifurcature. Thrombolysis had no effect, and the patient’s left arm was amputated above elbow level. COVID-19 is still a present problem worldwide, and it is important to be alert and aware of the risk of serious thromboembolic complications when treating unvaccinated patients.
