Abstract | BACKGROUND: CASE PRESENTATION: A 45-year-old man was admitted to the emergency department with left-sided abdominal pain radiating through to his back persisting for one day. He had COVID-19 PCR positivity nine days ago. After seven days of hospitalization due to COVID-19 pneumonia, he had been discharged with low-molecular-weight heparin ( LMWH). Abdominal computerized tomography (CT) showed SI. His ECG and laboratory parameters were normal except for 17.2 × 10∧3/μL leukocytosis. The anticoagulant drug dose that he was taking was increased to 2 × 0.6 mL during hospitalization. He described new-onset chest pain during follow-up. Acute anterior MI was detected on ECG. Successful percutaneous coronary angiography was performed by cardiologists. No problems were observed in the follow-up. The patient was discharged on the fifth day of conservative treatment due to splenic infarction. CONCLUSION:
