Abstract

Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) has become a global threat. The entire population is now under the risk. Healthcare providers are
concerned about handling an increased number of COVID-19 patients in limited capacities of facilities. Some therapies are being postponed
indefinitely. Patients with vascular diseases usually have multiple comorbidities and, therefore, many of them are prone to infection.
However, vascular surgical pathologies are usually related to progressive diseases. Postponement may not be possible for every patient in
this group of patients. Thus, prioritization is crucial and a specialized algorithm is needed. In this review, we provide a succinct overview of
arterial and venous emergencies and present a classification system and treatment algorithm on an individual basis.

Key words: COVID-19, emergency treatment, pandemic, vascular surgical procedure.
