Abstract

Introduction: COVID-19 is often seen presenting with a myriad of signs and symptoms of multiorgan dysfunction including arterial dissection.

Methods: Various theories have been proposed such as endothelial dysfunction triggered by hyperinflammatory response that results in rupture of atherosclerotic plaque and subsequent dissection.

Results: However, the exact incidence is unknown and only case reports and case series have been published till date.

Conclusion: Here we carried out a systematic analysis of published case reports/series related to dissection of the aorta, coronary, cerebral, vertebral, cervical, renal, and splanchnic arteries.

Keywords: Aortic dissection, carotid dissection, vasculitis, coronavirus, SARS-COV-2, arterial dissections.
