Patients infected with the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) predominantly present with respiratory symptoms. In severe cases, COVID-19 creates a prothrombotic state that significantly increases the risk of thromboembolic events. These complications are primarily in the form of venous thromboembolism, with a cumulative incidence of up to 49% among hospitalized patients. In contrast, arterial thromboembolic events such as ischemic stroke and myocardial infarction have been rarely reported in the literature. In this case report, we present a case of aortic thrombosis complicated by peripheral embolism and/or thrombosis as an example of arterial thromboembolism.
