Pulmonary artery thrombosis in COVID-19 patients	2020-08-24		.txt	text/plain	764	50	43	Retrospective studies demonstrated that patients admitted to Intensive Care Unit (ICU) had an elevated D Dimer value and, in this setting, some Authors recommended a therapeutic heparin doses for the patients with higher values [4] . A recent ICU obs ervation reported an increased risk of Pulmonary Embolism (PE) in COVID-19 compared to the historical control group even in patients that had undergone the Low Molecular Weight Heparin prophylaxis [5] . CTPA was positive for PE in 37% of COVID 19 patients (14,5 % in pre COVID patients), D-Dimer was associated with a higher prevalence of thromboembolic events and correlated with the degree of PE severity. The Authors observed that this is apparently in contrast with the relatively frequent reports of PE in hospitalized COVID-19 patients It is possible that local thrombi in the lungs may be the cause of pulmonary arterial manifestations [10] .	./cache/cord-352774-dpgk9bvc.txt	./txt/cord-352774-dpgk9bvc.txt
