Abstract
Various publications have increasingly reported the development of the prothrombotic state and its consequences associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Although the exact etiology is uncertain, various factors collectively increase the risk of thrombus formation in COVID-19 patients. We present a case series of four patients with left ventricular (LV) thrombus formation along with simultaneous COVID-19 infection. All these patients had acute myocardial infarction with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) between 35-45%. Among the series, two patients had favourable outcomes with complete resolution of LV thrombus, whereas the other two suffered cerebral embolization followed by mortality. This study looks in depth at all cases of intracardiac thrombi formation in patients with COVID-19 published worldwide. In addition to the increased predisposition for venous/ arterial thrombosis, even a few cases of intra- cardiac thrombus have been reported. Systemic thrombolysis is an initial treatment of choice for the management of right cardiac thrombi with pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) and ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in COVID-19. Right cardiac thrombi have better outcomes when compared to left cardiac thrombi.
