Recurrent Arterial Thrombosis in Young Adult, as Complication of Covid-19 Infection: A Case Report and Review of Literature

A 30-year-old male with no significant past medical history developed a stroke on day 15th of his COVID-19 Positive result with investigations showing Thrombosis of Left ICA/MCA. The patient underwent mechanical thrombectomy with adequate recanalization yet presented with a recurrent thrombus the next day. Hypercoagulable state is one of the unusual complications seen in COVID-19 positive patients with multiple pieces of literature pointing towards increased risk of venous thromboembolism, with stress towards VTE prophylaxis[1,2]. Arterial thromboembolism is a lesser-known sequela, often involves larger blood vessels correlating with increased inflammatory markers and severity of the disease, and such patients may need prolonged anticoagulation therapy.
