COVID-19 disease, while primarily a respiratory disease, has proven itself a multi-system disorder with profound cardiovascular sequelae. In patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection, effective early diagnosis and management of concomitant cardiovascular manifestations of the disease are key to favorable outcomes. Here we present a case series of three patients with varied cardiovascular presentations of severe COVID-19 illness: cardiogenic shock from Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, arrhythmia in a patient with suspected hydroxychloroquine-associated cardiomyopathy, and right-sided heart failure with obstructive shock in the setting of massive pulmonary embolism. Through our experience, we aim to provide a better understanding of the unique spectrum of the cardiovascular effects of severe COVID-19 disease to guide management of the critically ill.

Concomitant Surgery

We present a case of a patient who underwent successful concomitant surgical management of his massive pulmonary embolism and severe multivessel coronary disease. His presentation with shortness of breath prompted a comprehensive evaluation, which revealed both problems. This experience emphasizes the importance of considering both problems, because treating one but not the other could be catastrophic.

Catheter Directed Thrombolysis

Summary: COVID-19 is a recently identified illness that is associated with thromboembolic events. We report a case of pulmonary embolism in a patient with COVID-19, treated by catheter directed thrombectomy. A 57 year old patient presented to the emergency center with severe COVID-19 symptoms and developed massive pulmonary embolism. The patient was treated with catheter directed thrombolysis (CDT) and recovered completely. Coagulopathy associated with COVID-19 is present in all severe cases and is a dynamic process. We describe a case of massive/high risk pulmonary embolism, in a patient with COVID-19 receiving full anticoagulation, who was treated by percutaneous intervention. CDT can be an additional therapeutic option in patients with COVID-19 and pulmonary embolism that present with rapid clinical collapse.

Common Iliac Artery Aneurysm

Spontaneous rupture of a common iliac artery aneurysm into the common iliac vein is a rare phenomenon. We report the case of a 68 year old man admitted with acute cardiac failure and massive pulmonary embolism as a complication of a spontaneous ilio-iliac fistula, secondary to aneurysmal rupture. The aneurysm was successfully excluded using an aorto-uni-iliac stent graft. No complications were noted at 9 months follow-up. Arteriovenous fistulae should be considered in patients with aortic or iliac aneurysms who develop a pulmonary embolism or symptoms of venous congestion. Endovascular repair of these pathologies is a feasible therapeutic option; however long term results remain unknown.
