Clinical narrative: Aortic mural thrombosis; SIRS; Acute kidney injury; Constipation; abdominal pain; This literature-non-study case was reported in a literature article and describes the occurrence of AORTIC THROMBOSIS (Aortic mural thrombosis), SYSTEMIC INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE SYNDROME (SIRS) and ACUTE KIDNEY INJURY (Acute kidney injury) in a 49-year-old male patient who received mRNA-1273 (Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine) for COVID-19 vaccination. The occurrence of additional non-serious events is detailed below.   Concurrent medical conditions included Obesity, Arteriovenous malformation (arteriovenous malformation in the brain) and Hyperlipidemia.    In 2021, the patient received second dose of mRNA-1273 (Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine) (unknown route) 1 dosage form. In 2021, the patient experienced AORTIC THROMBOSIS (Aortic mural thrombosis) (seriousness criterion hospitalization), SYSTEMIC INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE SYNDROME (SIRS) (seriousness criterion hospitalization), ACUTE KIDNEY INJURY (Acute kidney injury) (seriousness criteria hospitalization and medically significant), CONSTIPATION (Constipation) and ABDOMINAL PAIN (abdominal pain). The patient was hospitalized on sometime in 2021 due to AORTIC THROMBOSIS. The patient was treated with ACETAMINOPHEN in 2021 at an unspecified dose and frequency; PIPERACILLIN SODIUM, TAZOBACTAM SODIUM (PIPERACILLIN & TAZOBACTAM) in 2021 for Systemic inflammatory response syndrome, at a dose of 1 dosage form; VANCOMYCIN in 2021 for Systemic inflammatory response syndrome, at a dose of 1 dosage form; CEFEPIME in 2021 at an unspecified dose and frequency; HEPARIN in 2021 for Anticoagulant therapy, at an unspecified dose and frequency and WARFARIN in 2021 for Anticoagulant therapy, at an unspecified dose and frequency. At the time of the report, AORTIC THROMBOSIS (Aortic mural thrombosis) was resolving and SYSTEMIC INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE SYNDROME (SIRS), ACUTE KIDNEY INJURY (Acute kidney injury), CONSTIPATION (Constipation) and ABDOMINAL PAIN (abdominal pain) outcome was unknown.

On an unknown date, White blood cell scan: infectious or inflammatory etiology tagged white blood cell scan that showed only a mild focal increased uptake at the mural thrombus in the proximal descending aorta, which represented infectious or inflammatory etiology..     For mRNA-1273 (Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine) (Unknown), the reporter considered AORTIC THROMBOSIS (Aortic mural thrombosis), SYSTEMIC INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE SYNDROME (SIRS), ACUTE KIDNEY INJURY (Acute kidney injury), CONSTIPATION (Constipation) and ABDOMINAL PAIN (abdominal pain) to be related.    Patient  presented for a 1-day history of high fevers, shaking, chills, shortness of breath, and Palpitations after he received his second mRNA-1273 SARS-CoV-2 vaccine 30 hours prior. Few hours after vaccine administration, the patient initially began to experience arm soreness, fevers, headache, and body aches, but these symptoms improved with acetaminophen. However, the next day, patient began to experience the acute onset of the above presenting symptoms and presented to the hospital.  Patient's blood work revealed bandemia of 14%. Patient also presented persistent tachycardia. Differentials, as per the radiologist, included emboli versus infected thrombus. Laboratory tests included (1-3)-b-D-glucan infectious workup which was negative, Factor V Leiden and prothrombin gene mutation hypercoagulability workup was negative. Patient was anticoagulated with heparin initially and bridged to warfarin after achieving a therapeutic INR. Antibiotics were stopped. Having ruled out infection, inflammatory, and hypercoagulable etiologies, authors presumed that this aortic mural thrombus could be a rare sequela of the second mRNA-1273 SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. The probability of the Naranjo adverse drug reaction was 5, indicating probably adverse drug reaction. Patient had an initial follow-up with hematology approximately 1 month after this presentation and was advised to take anticoagulation for 36 months with no requirement for lifelong anticoagulation. No concomitant medications were reported.   Most recent FOLLOW-UP information incorporated above includes: On 19-May-2022: Follow up received by safety on 19-MAY-2022 has Email and contains significant information: Reporter information, literature information, relevant history, laboratory data, treatment and events were updated.  Company comment: This literature-non-study case concerns a 49-year-old male patient with Obesity and Hyperlipidemia reported, who experienced the unexpected serious adverse events of special interest Aortic thrombosis (Aortic mural thrombosis), Systemic inflammatory response syndrome, and Acute kidney injury on an unknown date after receiving mRNA-1273 COVID 19 vaccine as second dose in the COVID-19 vaccination series that led to hospitalization. Patient initially had fever, chills, headache, and body aches that improved with acetaminophen intake. The same symptoms along with palpitations, shortness of breath, abdominal pain, and constipation were experienced by the patient the following day prompting emergency room visit where his vital signs showed tachycardia (144 bpm), elevated temperature (40C), and elevated blood pressure of 163/125 mmHg. Oxygen saturation was 98, blood tests showed leukopenia with bandemia, elevated creatinine and lactate. Patient was started on PiperacillinTazobactam and Vancomycin and was admitted.  Subsequent workup revealed elevated C reactive protein, procalcitonin, D-dimer, and elevated Troponin I (second take).  CT angiogram of the chest revealed a 1.3x0.8x0.7 cm mural thrombus in the proximal descending thoracic aorta. Patient was treated with heparin and bridged to warfarin.  Repeat CT angiogram a week later showed decrease in the size of mural thrombus. Obesity and Hyperlipidemia could be considered as predisposing and contributory factors to the development of Aortic thrombosis and Acute kidney injury.  No information was provided on the first dose of COVID-19 vaccination.  The benefit-risk relationship of mRNA-1273 COVID 19 Vaccine is not affected by this report.; Sender's Comments: This literature-non-study case concerns a 49-year-old male patient with Obesity and Hyperlipidemia reported, who experienced the unexpected serious adverse events of special interest Aortic thrombosis (Aortic mural thrombosis), Systemic inflammatory response syndrome, and Acute kidney injury on an unknown date after receiving mRNA-1273 COVID 19 vaccine as second dose in the COVID-19 vaccination series that led to hospitalization.
