In our case series, the involvement of segmental and subsegmental branches of the pulmonary 75 arteries along with the peculiar multiple and bilateral filling defects distribution, suggest a non-76 embolic origin of the pulmonary arteries thrombosis [4] . Compared to the rates previously reported in patients with pneumonia or other severe infections, a 81 higher prevalence of PTE in patients with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia might be inferred from this 82 small series. The absence of major risk factors for thromboembolic events in 5 out of 6 patients 83 seems to further confirm the role of bilateral SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia as a risk factor for PTE.
