“…Arterial thrombotic events, as well as microvascular thrombotic disorders, have been frequently documented in COVID-19 [ 6 ]. However, aortic thrombosis, specifically an ascending aortic thrombus in a non-aneurysmal aorta, is extremely rare due to the high blood flow and high pressures within the aorta [ 11 ]. Aortic thrombosis can have potentially catastrophic thromboembolic complications including renal infarction, stroke, and ischemic limbs [ 12 - 14 ].…”

The mechanism of arterial thrombosis in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is not completely understood and is attributed to the complex interactions of endothelial injury, platelet hyperactivation, and activated pro-inflammatory cytokines. Management strategies may include a combination of surgery and anticoagulation, or anticoagulation alone. A 56-year-old woman with recent COVID-19 infection presented with chest pain and dyspnea. Chest CT angiography (CTA) and aortic magnetic resonance imaging revealed an intraluminal thrombus in the mid ascending aorta. A multidisciplinary team decided on heparin infusion. She was transitioned to apixaban and a three-month interval outpatient CTA revealed complete resolution of the aortic thrombus.

“…Ascending aortic thrombus is rare due to the high pressure and high blood flow in the ascending aorta. 4 There have been limited reports describing arterial thrombus as the inaugural presentation of patients with COVID-19. No patient with COVID-19 and ascending aortic thrombus has been described.…”
