The patient's height, and weight were not reported. The patient's past medical history included ethyl alcohol abuse, and concurrent conditions included hypertension. The patient had no known drug allergies. The patient had no known other illness at the time of vaccination. The patient was not pregnant at the time of vaccination. The patient had not taken any prescriptions, over the counter medications, dietary supplements or herbal remedies at the time of vaccination. The patient had no adverse event following any previous vaccine. The patient received covid-19 vaccine ad26.cov2.s (suspension for injection, intramuscular, and batch number: 206A21A expiry: UNKNOWN) dose was not reported, 1 total  administered on 21-APR-2021 on left arm for prophylactic vaccination. No concomitant medications were reported.  On 08-MAY-2021, the patient's laboratory data included CT (computed tomography) angiography of chest showed severe burden of acute pulmonary embolism (PE) with severe right heart strain, small early infarct posteromedial left lower lobe (LLL), hepatic steatosis and interventional radiology (IR) thrombectomy procedure showed large bilateral pulmonary emboli. On 09-MAY-2021 (approximately 3 weeks after vaccination), the patient was presented to the emergency room due to progressively worsening shortness of breath. The patient also had pain and swelling in the left calf and leg. On the same day, the patient experienced brain injury, brain oedema, acute kidney injury, hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy, mental impairment, pain in extremity, peripheral swelling and had lung assist device therapy. The patient was hospitalized on an unspecified date. On 10-MAY-2021, the patient's ultrasound venous Doppler showed complete thrombosis left femoral, popliteal, posterior tibial, peroneal and anterior tibial veins, partial thrombosis of left common femoral vein. The patient underwent urgent thrombectomy, however, on 11-MAY-2021 (the next morning), she became more hypoxic and hypotensive and was intubated and was urgently placed on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). The patient developed multi-organ failure and was started on continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH) for oliguric renal failure. On 13-MAY-2021, CT computerised tomogram (CT) scan of the patient's head showed diffuse cerebral edema, which was most likely a result of hypoxic encephalopathy. With no improvement in her mental status over the course of the next few days, the patient was taken off life support and died on 15-MAY-2021 due to unknown cause. The patient was in hospital for 7 days. It was unknown if autopsy was performed. The action taken with covid-19 vaccine ad26.cov2.s was not applicable. The patient died of death, multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy, brain injury, brain oedema, acute kidney injury, mental impairment, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, pulmonary infarction, hypoxia, dyspnoea, pain in extremity, peripheral swelling, hepatic steatosis, hypotension, right ventricular dysfunction, continuous haemodiafiltration, endotracheal intubation, thrombectomy, lung assist device therapy, withdrawal of life support, angiogram pulmonary abnormal, computerised tomogram head abnormal and ultrasound doppler abnormal on 15-MAY-2021. This report was serious (Death, and Hospitalization Caused / Prolonged). This case, involving the same patient is linked to 20210542597.  Additional information was received from patient on 01-JUN-2021. The following information was updated and incorporated in to the case narrative: Patient demographics (race, ethnic origin), added patient history, added ethyl alcohol abuse in disease tab, added batch number, added facility type and other identification numbers updated.; Sender's Comments: V1: This spontaneous report received from a health care professional via Regulatory Authority VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System), concerns a 55 year old female patient, who was noted to experience acute pulmonary embolism (PE), with severe right heart strain, 18 days after receiving the Janssen Covid-19 vaccine. The patient sought consult at the emergency room due to worsening of the shortness of breath. The patient also had pain and swelling in the left calf and leg. Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA) of chest showed acute pulmonary embolism (PE) with severe right heart strain, small early infarct posteromedial left lower lobe (LLL), hepatic steatosis. Venous doppler showed complete thrombosis left femoral, popliteal, posterior tibial, peroneal and anterior tibial veins, partial thrombosis of left common femoral vein. The patient underwent urgent thrombectomy. However, she became more hypoxic and hypotensive, was intubated and was urgently placed on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Later, she developed multi-organ failure and was started on continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH) for renal failure. Nineteen (19) days after receiving the vaccine, Computerised tomogram (CT) scan of the patient's head showed diffuse cerebral edema, which was most likely a result of hypoxic encephalopathy. With no improvement in her mental status, life support was said to be taken off which resulted to death. It was unknown if autopsy was performed. Patient's height and weight were not reported. The patient's past medical history included ethyl alcohol abuse and concurrent conditions included hypertension. The patient had no known drug allergies.  The patient was not pregnant at the time of vaccination. Information is limited in this case. However, a relationship with Janssen Covid-19 vaccine cannot be ruled out and the relationship is considered indeterminate. Additional information has been requested.; Reported Cause(s) of Death: UNKNOWN CAUSE OF DEATH
