Abstract

We herein describe a case series of children with SARS-CoV-2 infection (COVID-19) complicated with acute intracardiac thrombosis. The diagnosis of COVID-19 was confirmed through the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Transthoracic echocardiography of patients revealed large intracardiac mobile masses resected successfully via cardiac surgery. The underlying mechanisms of this thrombus in the COVID-19 infection may be attributed to the hypercoagulation and inflammatory state of the disease incurred by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. © Copyright © 2021 Bigdelian, Sedighi, Sabri, Dehghan, Mahdavi, Ahmadi, Ghaderian, Rahimi, Sadeghizadeh, Emadoleslami, Mostafavi, Saleh, Javadi, Derakhshan, Pourmoghaddas and Sarfarazi Moghadam.
