Highlights: Small pulmonary vessel changes are a unique imaging feature of COVID-19 pneumonia. Autopsy studies reveal a very high incidence of peripheral pulmonary thrombosis. Risk of thrombosis is high in severe COVID-19 despite anticoagulation. Mounting evidence suggests immunothrombosis as a contributory cause of thrombosis. Combined inflammation reduction and anticoagulation seems to be a rational therapeutic protocol.
