In addition to the respiratory compromise typical for COVID-19 many papers reported on the thromboembolic complications in these often critically ill patients. In this report, three cases of patients that developed spontaneous major bleeding following treatment with therapeutic anticoagulation for thromboembolic complications of COVID-19 were described. Two cases were treated with coil-embolization and one patient could be treated conservatively. These cases illustrate the presence of a relevant bleeding risk against the background of the well-known thromboembolic complications associated with COVID-19. The increased risks of thromboembolic complications in COVID-19 warrant adequate prophylactic anticoagulation. The optimal dose to obtain a significant risk reduction without a significant increase in the incidence of major bleeding requires further research.
