COVID-19 generates a complex systemic inflammatory response that can lead to death due to wide macrophage activation, endothelial damage, and coagulation in critically ill patients. SARS-CoV-2-induced lung injury due to inflammatory mediated thrombosis could be similar to the livedoid vasculopathy in the skin, supporting a translational comparison of these clinical settings. In this article, we discuss anticoagulation, suppression of inflammatory response, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the context of severe COVID-19 and livedoid vasculopathy.
