Aortic Thrombus in patients with Severe Covid-19. Review of three cases

Abstract Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is suspected to predispose to both venous and arterial thromboembolism, in the context of an exaggerated immune response to the virus, especially in severe patients. Even though aortic thrombi are a rare entity, the new COVID-19 establishes the need to include them in the diagnosis, especially in patients with severe disease and no clinical improvement. Herein, we describe a series of three cases of aortic thrombi diagnosed by computerized tomography (CT) angiography in patients with confirmed SARS CoV-2 infection.
