We report two cases of ischemia of the lower limbs occurring after vaccination against Covid-19, in two patients without etiology for the ischemia. SARS-CoV-2 infection appears to be involved, for which several vascular physiopathological mechanisms have been identified in several studies. In addition, the vaccination against Covid-19 appears to be a risk of occurrence of ischemia of the lower limbs. Dimers were elevated in both patients. One patient underwent a Fogarty catheter thrombectomy; the other patient received an immediate leg amputation with good healing of the stump.
