description The new coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), that causes the highly contagious coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has led to an unprecedented global health crisis. Infected patients have been shown to trigger a heightened inflammatory response, increasing thrombotic risk. We report the case of a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-confirmed COVID-19 in a Hispanic male with no past medical history who presented to the ED with upper respiratory tract symptoms including shortness of breath and cough, requiring continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy. He was found to have a right ventricular thrombus (RVT) and bilateral deep vein thrombosis (DVT) on the day of admission, which were detected on transthoracic echocardiogram and duplex venous ultrasound, respectively. The patient was started on therapeutic enoxaparin sodium, which led to an improvement in oxygenation, and he was eventually downgraded to the medical floors for further management.
