Pulmonary Thromboembolism with Multiple Right Heart Mural Thrombus in
Patient with COVID-19.
Abstract
Background: Increased risk of thromboembolism during COVID-19 disease is
confirmed. Case: A 40-year-old hypertensive otherwise healthy male with
COVID-19 disease, presented with exacerbating dyspnea, demonstrated two
large mural thrombus in right atrial appendage and right ventricular
apex accompanied by pulmonary thromboembolism in imaging studies. He
underwent anticoagulant therapy with significant reduction in thrombus
sizes. Conclusion: Hypercoagulation state of COVID-19 disease may lead
to serious cardiopulmonary injury.
