ABSTRACT
Thrombotic complications increase in novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients. Most of these complications are associated with venous thromboembolism and pulmonary embolism; and arterial thrombosis is rare. Usually, arterial thrombosis affects peripheral arteries. The involvement of large vessels, such as aorta, is rare in the literature. Major artery thrombosis manifests with different additional complications. Contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomography angiography (CTA) was performed on a patient, who was followed-up with COVID-19 due to gastrointestinal symptoms. Supra-celiac aortic thrombosis and splenic infarction were detected. This case is reported to share experience regarding our treatment approach in the light of the literature data. Key Words Arterial thrombosis, Acute aortic thrombosis, COVID-19.
