In all cases, CTPA was performed to exclude the responsibility of superimposed PE in patients hospitalized for severe COVID-19 and presenting stagnation or worsening of their respiratory condition. CT-angiography scans were acquired with 64-row or greater scanners after injection of 70–90<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mL of contrast material with a high concentration of iodine. Imaging was performed with use of a bolus-tracking technique and a threshold of 200 HU in the main pulmonary artery. Images were reconstructed with a slice thickness of 1<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mm in mediastinal and parenchymal windows. We retrospectively analyzed the CTPA results as well as the clinical and biological data for the patients. The quality of the examinations was sufficient to assess the presence or absence of PE up to the segmental level.

Likewise, in the ICU, physicians caring for COVID-19 patients are used to facing a general deterioration, with respiratory symptoms at the forefront. In both cases, progression of pneumonia is most often responsible for the observed worsening of the respiratory condition but the latter could also be related to the occurrence of PE or to PE superimposed on extending pneumonia.</p><p id="par0060" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">From a clinical point of view, the fact that, along with the diagnosis of PE, CTPA also demonstrated a worsening of pneumonia in the majority of cases is informative. Performing thoracic CT without angiography instead of CTPA would have led to missing a significant number of embolic events. With worsening or non-improvement in patients hospitalized for COVID-19, our results argue for (1) increased awareness by clinicians of the possible responsibility of superimposed PE, even though progression of pneumonia may also be documented on chest CT, and (2) use of CTPA, whenever possible.
