Introduction: COVID-19 has been frequently cited as a condition causing a pro-inflammatory state leading to hypercoagulopathy and increased risk for venous thromboembolism. This condition has thus prompted prior studies and screening models that utilize D-dimer for pulmonary embolism (PE) into question. The limited research to date has failed to provide tools or guidance regarding what COVID-19 positive patients should receive pulmonary CT angiography screening.

- Gary Mikhjian's research primarily focuses on the implications of COVID-19 on coagulopathy and its link to venous thromboembolism, particularly through the lens of D-dimer levels in patients.
- His 2021 article investigates the utility of quantitative D-dimer levels to inform the necessity of pulmonary CT angiography in COVID-19 patients, addressing a significant gap in current medical protocols.
- Findings suggest that existing studies have not provided adequate screening tools for healthcare providers, highlighting the need for further research in optimizing D-dimer utilization to improve patient outcomes in the context of COVID-19.
