Abstract

I read with interest the article by Gocgun and Ikizceli, published in your journal, titled "Imaging Findings of Ischemic Stroke Associated with COVID-19" published in your journal in 2021. In this article, the authors referred to acute ischemic cerebrovascular accident, which is an ischemic complication of COVID-19. In this article, we wanted to mention about acute extremity ischemia, another ischemic complication.

Keywords

COVID 19, ischemia, embolism

Pandemide Artan Akut Ekstremite İskemisinin Farkında mıyız?

Abstract

Derginizde yayınlanan Göçgün ve İkizceli’nin 2021 yılında derginizde yayınlanan ‘COVID-19 ile İlişkili İskemik İnmenin Görüntüleme Bulguları’ isimli makalesini ilgiyle okudum. Yazarlar bu makalede, COVID-19’un iskemik komplikasyonu olan akut iskemik serebrovasküler olaya değinmiştir. Bu yazıda ise, bir diğer iskemik komplikasyon olan akut ekstremite iskemisi (AEİ) konusunda değinilmek istendi.
