We present the case of a patient with a nonbacterial thrombotic aortic valve endocarditis experiencing severe thromboembolic complications and an acute right internal carotid artery occlusion in the context of a paraneoplastic syndrome and an asymptomatic severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 infection, despite treatment with different and overlapping anticoagulant medications. Patients with increased thrombogenicity due to an underlying disease might be at increased risk for thrombotic events during a severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 infection.
