Abstract

A case of multiple arterial thrombosis/ embolisms in a 74-year-old Caucasian man with no other cardiovascular risk factors who received Ad26.COV2-S vaccine 16 days before is reported. The unusual presentation required a longer diagnostic workup. The clinical manifestations and the therapy-specific response suggest an unusual presentation of Vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT).
