ABSTRACT
The pathophysiology and predictability of radial artery thromboembolic events in patients with COVID-19 is not fully understood. We report a case of thumb and index finger gangrene and multiple digit amputations secondary to digital artery occlusion after radial artery cannulation in a patient admitted with COVID-19 pneumonia and encephalopathy. The exact association, causality, and potential hand manifestations in this patient population is unclear at this time, but is of particular interest in the current state of the pandemic.
