Background: Concurrent ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and acute ischemic stroke (AIS) are extremely rare, and their management remains perplexing due to the absence of high-quality evidence and limited resources. For the first time, we report a rare, preventable, and suboptimally managed case of concurrent AIS and STEMI in a patient with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) who received cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisolone (CHOP) chemotherapy.
Case Presentation: A 59-year-old postmenopausal woman of African origin with a background history of type 2 diabetes mellitus presented to the Jakaya Kikwete Cardiac Institute with sudden onset of left-sided weakness and typical ischemic chest pain for 3 days.

Phlegmasia cerulea dolens is a rare manifestation of massive deep vein thrombosis with threat to limb and life. A patient with a background of ovarian malignancy in remission and pelvic radiotherapy presented with left lower limb phlegmasia cerulea dolens as a result of extensive acute left lower limb deep vein thrombosis, extending from the popliteal vein to the inferior vena cava. While initial rapid thrombolysis and left iliac vein stenting were successful, she developed significant hemorrhagic complications from her right radial intra-arterial line with compartment syndrome requiring fasciotomy.

Article Synopsis
- * An 8-year-old boy with macrolide-resistant pneumonia developed thrombosis in critical areas, including the pulmonary artery and larger veins, leading to abdominal pain and dangerous thrombi sizes.
- * After standard anti-infection and anticoagulation treatments failed to alleviate his symptoms and manage the risk of thrombus detachment, the patient underwent specialized procedures that successfully improved his condition and prevented recurrence, underscoring the importance of early thrombosis recognition in pediatric cases.

Pulmonary thromboembolectomy is an essential intervention for managing acute pulmonary embolism (PE), with various treatment approaches including systemic thrombolysis, open surgical embolectomy, and percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy. Multimodal approaches are crucial for improving outcomes in massive and submassive PE cases, with integration across disciplines such as vascular surgery and interventional radiology enhancing comprehensive care. This manuscript will discuss a case series featuring two patients diagnosed with acute PE.
