Based on the patient's clinical presentation and the laboratory workup identifying an elevated D-dimer, a computed tomography angiogram of the chest was obtained, which was significant for moderately large, bilateral pulmonary emboli with a saddle embolus, and an associated small, left lower lobe, pulmonary infarct. Post-discharge telephone calls at day 10 and week 4 revealed that the patient was appropriately responding to anticoagulation treatment and had no recurrence of his symptoms related to venous thromboembolism and COVID-19. We report an atypical case involving a 65-year-old male patient with an acute saddle pulmonary embolism and a deep vein thrombosis (DVT) associated with COVID-19. reported objectively confirmed VTE incidence rates of 16%, 33%, and 42% at days 7, 14, and 21, respectively, among hospitalized patients with COVID-19, despite receiving thrombosis prophylaxis.	./cache/cord-311579-4jhoatkw.txt	./txt/cord-311579-4jhoatkw.txt
