Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical and computed tomography pulmonary angiogram characteristics of pulmonary embolism seen in patients hospitalized because of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Additionally, we intended to describe the distribution of the pulmonary emboli. Subjects and methods: This study is based on a retrospective observational study which was carried out in the Department of Radiology at the University Hospital Split. A sample of 78 patients was chosen who developed pulmonary embolism after being infected with SARS-CoV- 2. CTPAs were analyzed according to location and radiological appearance of PE. Results: Median age is 71 years and there is a slight male predominance. At least one comorbidity is present in majority of individuals (n= 64, 82.06%), whereas only 14 (17.94%) are without comorbidities. The most prevalent comorbidity is hypertension (n= 34, 43.53%) of PE patients either by itself or together with other diseases, such as diabetes or cardiac disorders. D-dimer levels are elevated (median 12.51, Q1-Q3 8.00-28.04) and PE is manifested at a median of 14 (Q1-Q3 11-19.5) days after Covid-19 diagnosis has been made. Unilateral pulmonary embolism was demonstrated in nearly half of patients who underwent CTPA, mostly located in one of the segmental or subsegmental branches (n=23,29.49% of total number of PE patients). In 8 (10.25%) cases PE involved unilaterally two or more of the segmental or subsegmental branches and typically encompassing areas of Covid-19 inflammation-related CT changes. In 33 (42.31%) patients the pulmonary tree affection was bilateral and involved multilobar/multisegmental levels. Branches at all levels and a wide variety of PE locations were present and were not necessarily linked to inflammatory damage seen on CT. The right lobe of the lung was more often involved than the opposite lobe. Conclusion: Our results showed that acute PE is a potential complication of Covid-19 even in mild forms or late in the course of the disease, when the initial symptoms of SARS-CoV-2 infection have already disappeared. Pulmonary branches of all sizes were affected, primarily those of smaller diameters and more often in the right lung. PE in Covid-19 patients seems to be rather an in-situ thrombosis in the lung than a consequence of a deep venous thrombosis, although an embolic event arising from dee vein thrombosis is possible, especially when comorbidities are present. There is a difference in the clinical picture of pulmonary infections between Covid-19 and non-Covid-19 patients. Appearance of the embolism and imaging of the lungs showed differences between infected and noninfected patients. Due to the infection, lung infiltrates and ground-glass opacities were seen more often as well as lymph node and vessel thickening and enlargement. So, beyond the PE, CT scanning shows common morphological patterns, but it must be emphasized that those patterns are not specific for Covid-19 as they can occur in other viral and non-viral diseases.
