ABSTRACT
Objective:
To describe ischemic stroke due to floating thrombus of ascending aorta occurring as acute and subacute complication of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Material(s) and Method(s) consecutive identification in clinical practice of ischemic strokes secondary to aortic arch thrombosis and history of acute or recent Covid-19 infection. Result(s) two patients had ischemic stroke with evidence of aortic arch thrombosis. The first case had concomitant acute Covid-19 infection, the second had recent Covid-19 infection. Both patients underwent intravenous thrombolysis, and subsequent anticoagulation. One patient died due to cerebral hemorrhage. Discussion and Conclusion(s) aortic arch thrombosis can be an incidental finding in acute ischemic stroke in patients with concomitant and recent COVID-19 disease. However, the infection may lead to thrombosis in non-atherosclerotic vessels and to cerebral embolism. Our findings support active radiological search for aortic thrombosis during acute stroke in patients with acute or recent COVID-19 disease.Copyright © 2022
