[Thrombotic complication of severe COVID-19 pneumonia: stroke due to atypical paradoxical embolism].

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION:Severe infection by SARS-CoV-2 has shown to entail an increased risk of thrombotic, especially venous, events. Central venous catheters have also been associated with an increased risk of thrombotic complications. Paradoxical embolism as an aetiological mechanism of ischaemic stroke should be considered in a highly prothrombotic context, where it may be more frequent. CASE REPORT:A 40-year-old woman with a central venous catheter, with a large vessel ischaemic stroke, treated with mechanical thrombectomy for an atypical paradoxical embolism while in intensive care for bilateral COVID-19 pneumonia. In the aetiological study, analysis highlighted an elevation of the D-dimer and right-left shunt with massive passage of contrast directly from the central peripheral access pathway in the left upper extremity to the left atrium in the transoesophageal echocardiogram. Thoracic tomographic angiography showed an anomalous venous structure with its origin in the subclavian vein and drainage to the segmental vein of the left upper lobe with direct emptying into the left atrium. Treatment consisted in anticoagulation until removal of the central venous catheter and simple anti-aggregating medication on discharge. CONCLUSIONS:Paradoxical embolism due to intra- or extra-cardiac shunt should be considered in patients with COVID-19, given the high associated risk of venous thromboembolism. Further studies are needed to be able to define optimal prophylactic and therapeutic management. TITLE:Complicación trombótica de neumonía grave por COVID-19: ictus por embolismo paradójico atípico. :Introducción. La infección grave por el SARS-CoV-2 ha demostrado un incremento del riesgo de fenómenos trombóticos, especialmente venosos. Los catéteres venosos centrales también se han asociado a un mayor riesgo de complicaciones trombóticas. El embolismo paradójico como mecanismo etiológico del ictus isquémico debe tenerse en cuenta en un contexto protrombótico elevado, en el que puede ser más frecuente. Caso clínico. Mujer de 40 años, portadora de un catéter venoso central, con ictus isquémico de gran vaso, tratada con trombectomía mecánica por embolismo paradójico atípico durante el ingreso en cuidados intensivos por neumonía bilateral por COVID-19. Dentro del estudio etiológico, destacaba analíticamente una elevación del dímero D y shunt derecha-izquierda con paso masivo de contraste directamente desde la vía central de acceso periférico en la extremidad superior izquierda a la aurícula izquierda en el ecocardiograma transesofágico. Una angiotomografía torácica mostró una estructura venosa anómala con origen en la vena subclavia y drenaje a la vena segmentaria del lóbulo superior izquierdo con vaciado directo a la aurícula izquierda. Se decidió anticoagulación hasta la retirada del catéter venoso central y antiagregación simple al alta. Conclusiones. El embolismo paradójico por shunt intra o extracardíaco debe considerarse en pacientes con COVID-19, dado el elevado riesgo tromboembólico venoso asociado. Para definir el manejo profiláctico y terapéutico óptimo son necesarios más estudios.
