Distal arteriovenous fistula to preserve patency in COVID-19-associated acute limb ischemia.

The purpose of this study was to report our institutional experience with patients with COVID-19 who developed acute limb ischemia during hospitalization and to determine the characteristics and clinical outcomes. Between March 2020 and January 2021, we treated 3 patients who were COVID-19-positive and developed acute limb ischemia after they received thromboprophylaxis. We performed an embolectomy by exposing the popliteal artery below the knee to treat an occlusion of the popliteal and tibial arteries.
