ABSTRACT
In the 3rd year of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, much has been learned about the long-term effects of COVID-19 pneumonia on the lungs. Approximately one-third of patients with moderate-to-severe pneumonia, especially those requiring intensive care therapy or mechanical ventilation, have residual abnormalities at chest CT 1 year after presentation. Abnormalities range from parenchymal bands to bronchial dilation to frank fibrosis. Less is known about the long-term pulmonary vascular sequelae, but there appears to be a persistent, increased risk of venothromboembolic events in a small cohort of patients. Finally, the associated histologic abnormalities resulting from SARS-CoV-2 infection are similar to those seen in patients with other causes of acute lung injury.
