COVID-19 Aortitis: A Review of Published Cases

Year: 2022

Type: article

Abstract: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has a myriad of different presentations and various complications. Aortitis is one of the less explored pathologies associated with COVID-19 infections. In this review, we searched PubMed/Medline, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and Scopus for case series and case reports involving adults patients who presented with aortitis and COVID-19. We found and reviewed four published case reports of aortitis in a setting of COVID-19 infection. The mean age of the four adult patients was 69 ± 1.732 years (range = 63-71 years), and all patients were males. Most of the patients (75%) did not have any preexisting comorbidities. All patients were treated conservatively and recovered with excellent outcomes.
