    Journal Article

    Van Gassel et al. thank Vijayakumar and Shah for their letter regarding their report on the high prevalence of pulmonary sequelae at 3 months in mechanically ventilated survivors of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) assessed by pulmonary function testing and high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT). They acknowledge that their remarks highlight two key challenges that remain to be addressed in future work: 1) the long-term follow-up of these respiratory sequelae and their evolution/persistence over time and 2) unraveling the role of (micro)thrombosis in the respiratory sequelae as observed in survivors of COVID-19.
