The Clot Thickens: COVID-19-Related ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction in the Setting of Recent Boosters

The coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) has an array of pathological effects that continue to be discovered. Vaccines against COVID-19 have quickly emerged as our main tool. However, the thrombotic risk of both the virus and the vaccine is yet to be established, let alone together. In this case r...

description The coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) has an array of pathological effects that continue to be discovered. Vaccines against COVID-19 have quickly emerged as our main tool. However, the thrombotic risk of both the virus and the vaccine is yet to be established, let alone together. In this case report, we present a case involving a recently diagnosed COVID-19 patient who developed an ST-elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI) after receiving his booster shot. Our aim is to highlight the standard of treatment outcomes in COVID-19-associated clots, familiarize ourselves with the complexity of the clot burden in a COVID-19-associated STEMI, and illustrate the potential role of the cumulative pro-thrombotic effects of a recent COVID-19 booster with a concomitant symptomatic COVID-19 infection.
