Coronavirus Disease 2019-Related Extensive Thrombosis in a Patient Receiving Therapeutic Anticoagulation With Dabigatran.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is associated with respiratory failure and a hypercoagulable state. Studies have shown the use of oral anticoagulants, specifically dabigatran, can significantly decrease mortality from COVID-19. Dabigatran is an oral direct thrombin inhibitor commonly used for nonvalvular atrial fibrillation and for the treatment or prevention of venous thromboembolism.
