COVID-19 is a systemic disease encompassing a wide spectrum of manifestations, from asymptomatic to severe organ dysfunction and death. Thromboembolic complications are frequent, but there is a great variability of individual risk and severity. We present the case of an adult male with recovered SARS-CoV-2 infection, which developed late thrombosis in several arterial and venous sites, with unfavorable outcome. The mechanisms involved in COVID-19 hypercoagulable state are discussed.
