In patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), thromboembolism is a frequently reported complication. However, it is reported that the incidence of arterial occlusion is rare. We experienced a case of 70-year-old male patient who developed a complication of Right common iliac arterial occlusion while treating him for confirmed COVID-19 who did not have any risk factors, such as diabetes or smoking. As in our case, it is necessary to carefully observe whether this complication occurs while treating COVID-19 patients.
