Abstract :
Simultaneous arteriovenous embolism is extremely rare. Herein, we present a rare case of systemic arteriovenous emboli in a
healthy 33-year-old male after an episode of acute viral perimyocarditis. The culprits are postulated to be viral-induced
myocardial necrosis and resulting proinflammatory state in the setting of negative malignant, autoimmune, genetics, and
chronic infectious conditions. The patient was successfully managed with guideline-directed medical therapy and safely
discharged to a subacute rehabilitation facility.
