The doctor posted a photo of a blood clot on a social network and said that it was removed from an artery in the leg of a patient with COVID-19.
In India, a coronavirus patient was able to extract a long blood clot from an artery in his leg. This was reported by Ambarish Satwik, a vascular surgeon at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in Delhi in Twitter.
“What blood clots look like in COVID. We managed to save a limb,” the doctor said.
He also said that the coronavirus can lead to blood clots. The incidence of heart attacks, strokes, or loss of limbs due to blood clots ranges from 2% to 5%.

After the publication on the social network, the doctor was interviewed by the publication DoctorNDTV… In an interview with reporters, Satwik recalled that COVID-19 often causes thrombosis, and due to vascular blockage, blood circulation in general or the blood supply to any organ is completely disrupted. Sometimes even young people can get a heart attack or stroke.
