- Ebstein's anomaly (EA) is a rare congenital heart condition often diagnosed in childhood, but some cases can go unnoticed into older age without symptoms.
- A case report highlights a mid-fifties patient diagnosed with EA who experienced atrial fibrillation and heart failure due to severe tricuspid regurgitation, treated with medication.

Introduction: and importance: Acute massive pulmonary thromboembolism is a potentially life-threatening condition requiring urgent management to decrease mortality. Although the standard dose of systemic thrombolysis with alteplase is 100 mg, half the dose of alteplase can be used to break up clots successfully, especially if bleeding is a concern.
Case Presentation: We report a case of massive pulmonary thromboembolism presenting with cardiopulmonary arrest, successfully managed with advanced cardiac life support, anticoagulants, and low-dose thrombolytics.
