Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, increasing evidence suggests that infected patients present a high incidence of thrombotic complications. Besides affecting respiratory tract it also causes systemic inflammation which also leads to coagulopathy affecting major blood vessels in the body. This report describes a case of aortic, renal artery thrombosis in a patient admitted for evaluation of abdominal pain and detected to have high titer of SARS COV-2 IgG antibodies with no prior history suggestive of typical COVID-19 infection (COVID-19 RTPCR and antigen tested negative).

Acute abdominal pain represents a challenge for the physician because it can hide a serious intra-abdominal pathology necessitating emergency intervention. A 65-year-old man presented to Emergency Department with sudden-onset abdominal pain. He underwent liver transplantation four years before. He complained tenderness on abdominal palpation. Blood chemistry and abdominal x-ray were normal. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed acute renal artery thrombosis. The patient underwent renal arterial thrombectomy and stent placement in less than two hours. Organ transplantation is a condition that makes patients at greater risk of life-threatening conditions. Renal artery thrombosis is a rare, severe and misdiagnosed condition which can benefit from a prompt cooperation among emergency physician, surgeon, and interventional radiologist. Transplant patients with acute abdominal pain should be considered at high risk of medical emergency. Acute renal artery thrombosis is a time dependent medical emergency in those patients with chronic drug-induced nephrotoxicity.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has been associated with a high incidence of arterial and venous thrombotic complications. However, thromboembolic events in unusual sites such as limb and visceral arterial ischemia are reported rarely in the literature. Herein, we describe a rare case of a patient with severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection who experienced severe abdominal pain during the hospitalization and presented simultaneously renal artery, splenic artery and vein as well as aortic thrombi despite prophylactic antithrombotic treatment. Information about his follow-up post discharge is also provided. This case report raises significant clinical implications regarding the correct dose of antithrombotic treatment during the acute phase of the severe COVID-19 infection and highlights the need for incessant vigilance in order to detect thrombosis at unusual sites as a possible diagnosis when severe abdominal pain is present in severe COVID-19 patients.
