Abstract

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is an evolving condition in the absence of established treatment and vaccines. The few autopsy studies on COVID-19 patients suggested the presence of pulmonary microvascular thrombosis. Hence, it is imperative to understand the pathobiology of thrombus formation and speculate the therapeutic goals in combating COVID-19. This paper focuses on a holistic approach by integrating the previous concepts and current concepts of thrombosis to better understand the pathogenesis of thrombosis.
