Aortic arch thrombosis complicated by an embolic stroke in a patient with COVID-19: A case report
CONCLUSION: Aortic thrombosis is a devastating condition that can be easily missed without clinical suspicion. Our patient developed acute ischemic stroke, most likely embolic originating from the aortic thrombus. The clinician should consider this condition in any COVID-19 patient presenting with thromboembolic events, such as stroke or acute limb ischemia. Further study is required to explain the pathophysiology of arterial/venous thrombosis in mild-moderate COVID-19 cases.PMID:34457268 | PMC:PMC8381619 | DOI:10.1016/j.amsu.2021.102760
