This is a descriptive, quantitative, cross-sectional epidemiological study of cases of arterial embolism and thrombosis that will compare notifications before the COVID-19 pandemic in 2018 and 2019 with information after it began in 2020 and 2021. The Hospital Information System in the Department of Information of the Unified Health System (DATASUS)/(SIH-SUS) was used as a database, including patients diagnosed with embolism and arterial thrombosis in the Northern region from 2018 to 2019. This research studied the variables year of processing, age group, gender, character of care and deaths. The results showed a considerable increase in the number of cases and deaths from complications such as embolism and arterial thrombosis in all age groups, as well as the number of emergency cases. Therefore, it can be inferred that there is a correlation between infection with the COVID-19 virus and the increase in thromboembolic events, due to the significant increase in the number of cases of embolism and arterial thrombosis compared to the period prior to the coronavirus pandemic.
