Acute aortic root thrombosis is a potentially lethal condition
due to the possibility of thrombosis into the ascending
aorta branches, resulting in various clinical manifestations.
A 29-year-old male patient was admitted to our center with
hyperacute left main thrombosis after elective Bentall procedure.
Due to massive left ventricular infarction, the patient was
supported by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, but without
success to recovery. The patient"s blood analyses revealed a
high level of the Factor VIII. In conclusion, Factor VIII levels
in the blood are elevated by genetic abnormalities, infectious
diseases such as severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus 2
infection, and vascular inflammation. This pathological condition
may be a reason for hyperacute thrombosis.
