Autopsies of patients who have died from COVID-19 have shown a “dramatic” increase in the number of blood clots affecting major and minor blood vessels as well as “almost every organ” in the human body, according to a top New York pathologist.
Amy Rapkiewicz, the chairman of pathology at
NYU Langone Medical Center, told CNN on Thursday that while she expected the virus to cause clotting in the lungs and in lines of various large blood vessels, doctors in her recent study on coronavirus found clotting all over the body.
