Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a pandemic that has affected many patients worldwide. Infection with this virus appears to be associated with a high risk of macrovascular complications. Methods: In this descriptive study, we examined the clinical and demographic information of 67 patients in whom COVID-19 was confirmed in terms of vascular complications. Results: The results of this study showed that 65.6% of COVID-19 patients had venous complications and 34.4% had arterial complications. In the patients who had more severe symptoms caused by COVID-19 such as fever, cough, sore throat, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, shortness of breath, joint pain, and fatigue, they had more severe venous complications. Conclusions: Better and more accurate understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms causing severe disease of COVID-19, as well as identifying the prevalence of macrovascular complications and possible disorders resulting from them in patients with COVID-19 in different ethnicities and populations to develop new treatment, is needed.
