For more than two years, health care systems have been floundering in a massive crisis of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. while acute respiratory distress syndrome is the main complication in patients with COVID-19, as the pandemic continues, more data about the non-respiratory effects of the coronavirus is obtained, including developing Coagulopathy-related manifestations, in the form of venous and arterial thromboembolism. Although arterial thrombosis a rare complication of this disease, it proves to be an effective factor in the mortality and morbidity of COVID-19 patients. The pathophysiology of thrombosis reveals a complex relation between hemostasis and immune system that can be disrupted by COVID-19. Thrombectomy, anticoagulant therapy, and thrombolysis are the main treatments in these patients. In addition, appropriate thromboprophylaxis treatment should be considered in COVID-19 patients. In this article, we have successfully reviewed the arterial thrombotic events in patients reported around the world, including the diagnostic and management method of choice.
