Prothrombotic state and thrombotic events in COVID-19 pandemic period, including portal vein and splenic artery thromboses.

This editorial article is intended to perform a discussion on the manuscript entitled "Simultaneous portal vein thrombosis and splenic vein thrombosis in a COVID-19 patient: A case report and review of literature" written by Abramowitz . The article focuses on the diagnostic processes in a 77-year-old-male patient with a simultaneous portal vein and splenic artery thrombosis accompanying coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The authors postulated that splanchnic thrombosis should be on the list of differential diagnoses in a patient presenting with abdominal pain in presence of a COVID-19 infection.
