Fatal COVID-19 is Characterized by Distinct Vasculopathic Features and Increased Congestion of the Alveolar Capillary-Bed
2021-06-22
Abstract excerpt
Background: Clinical and radiologic studies investigating Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) indicate that a possible cause of severe hypoxia is marked ventilation-perfusion (V<sub>A</sub>/Q) mismatch. Published histopathology reports diffuse alveolar damage (DAD) in fatal COVID-19 is indistinguishable from other causes of DAD. We compared lung parenchymal and vascular alterations between COVID-19 and DAD of othe...
