Coronavirus (SARS-Coronavirus-2:SARS-CoV-2) pandemic is affecting almost every country in the world. Even if the major symptoms of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) are respiratory, different symptoms at presentation are now recognized. Venous thromboembolism has been reported in infected patients and few but increasing cases of arterial thrombosis have been described. We report a case of acute aorto-iliac and lower limb artery occlusions in a patient presenting with severe COVID-19 infection. The mechanism of the occlusion seemed to be distal embolization from a floating thrombus in the aortic arch caused by a major inflammatory state and virus infection. The patient underwent aorto-iliac and lower limb artery mechanical thrombectomy but required unilateral major amputation.
