Thromboembolic complications are also commonly observed as a result of SARS-CoV-2 infections. They can affect pediatric patients, especially the ones suffering from multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) or multisystem inflammatory syndrome in neonates (MIS-N). The question remains whether the maternal SARS-CoV-2 infection during pregnancy can lead to thromboembolic complications in fetuses and neonates. We report on a patient born with an embolism in the arterial duct, left pulmonary artery, and pulmonary trunk, who presented several characteristic features of MIS-N, suspecting that the cause might have been the maternal SARS-CoV2 infection in late pregnancy. Multiple genetic and laboratory tests were performed. The neonate presented only with a positive result of IgG antibodies against SARS-CoV-2. He was treated with low molecular weight heparin. Subsequent echocardiographic tests showed that the embolism dissolved. More research is necessary to evaluate the possible neonatal complications of maternal SARS-CoV-2 infection.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms24087629","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,21]],"date-time":"2023-04-21T03:01:48Z","timestamp":1682046108000},"page":"7629","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Prenatal and Neonatal Pulmonary Thrombosis as a Potential Complication of SARS-CoV-2 Infection in Late Pregnancy"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Gazala","family":"Abdulaziz-Opiela","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Poznan University of Medical Sciences, 61-701 Poznan, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anna","family":"Sobieraj","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Poznan University of Medical Sciences, 61-701 Poznan, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8905-7921","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Greta","family":"Sibrecht","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"II Department of Neonatology, Poznan University of Medical Sciences, 61-701 Poznan, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Julia","family":"Bajdor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Nicolaus Copernicus Hospital, 80-803 Gdansk, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bart\u0142omiej","family":"Mrozi\u0144ski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Cardiology, Poznan University of Medical Sciences, 61-701 Poznan, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zuzanna","family":"Koz\u0142owska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"II Department of Neonatology, Poznan University of Medical Sciences, 61-701 Poznan, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rafa\u0142","family":"Iciek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Reproduction, Poznan University of Medical Sciences, 61-701 Poznan, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3908-6617","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Katarzyna","family":"Wr\u00f3blewska-Seniuk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"II Department of Neonatology, Poznan University of Medical Sciences, 61-701 Poznan, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5492-8651","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ewa","family":"Wender-O\u017cegowska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Reproduction, Poznan University of Medical Sciences, 61-701 Poznan, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5214-2719","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tomasz","family":"Szczapa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"II Department of Neonatology, Poznan University of Medical Sciences, 61-701 Poznan, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1169","DOI":"10.1080\/14767058.2020.1743668","article-title":"Neonatal thrombosis","volume":"35","author":"Makatsariya","year":"2020","journal-title":"J.
