ABSTRACT
Several vaccines were developed and rolled out at an unprecedented rate in response to the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Most vaccines approved globally by WHO for emergency use to combat the pandemic were deemed remarkably effective and safe. Despite the safety, rare incidences of vaccine-induced thrombosis and thrombocytopenia (VITT), sometimes known as vaccine-induced prothrombotic thrombocytopenia (VIPIT), have been reported. We report a case of young female with prothrombotic conditions and suspected VITT who developed catastrophic cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) and progressed to brain death. We highlight hurdles of organ retrieval from a brain-dead patient with suspected SARS-CoV-2 vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia. There is limited data and lack of substantial evidence regarding transplantation of organs from brain-dead patients with suspected VITT.
