Aortic thrombosis is a rare event that can occur in hypercoagulable state as found in patients with COVID-19. A 58-year-old man presented with COVID-19 respiratory failure and elevated D-dimers (4063 μg/l). Computed tomography scanning showed a floating thrombus in the aortic arch. Thrombophilia screening was negative and the aorta free of atherosclerosis. SARS-CoV-2 infection was considered the most likely aetiology.
