I am also intrigued by these findings. Does anyone know what test is best for detecting microclots in the lungs? And is treatment with anticoagulants warranted? I've discussed this issue with my pulmonologist. He wants to send me for ventilation/perfusion scans (VQ scans) before starting any treatment, but I'm not sure these tests are able to show capillary microclots. Any comments and/or links to relevant articles would be appreciated. Thank you.

Please look up Dr. Jordan Vaughn in Alabama. He’s treating me for this currently.

For what it's worth, I've been dealing with long covid since last June, and I've been on anticoagulants for over 15 years (after a Pulmonary Embolism). Someone on this site mentioned weeks ago that their MD said that existing anticoagulants didn't work against micro clots. I'm not sure how that MD came to that conclusion and/or whether that commenter was an accurate reporter.
