Abstract

However, with the onset of the second COVID-19 pandemic wave, single cases of acute thrombotic complications in previously healthy children began to appear. Here we describe the patient with COVID-19 time related acute intracardiac thrombus in a previously healthy 6 year old girl. The treatment according to the national pediatric protocol, included low-molecular weight heparin infusion, high-dose aspirin, methylprednisolone, and intravenous immunoglobulin was lead to dissolving without cardiac surgery. A follow up after 12 months from discharge demonstrated: physical exam, ECG, echocardiography are all normal. Our case presentation shows, that all health care providers must be informed about the full range of complications and even a mild onset of COVID-19 in children.
