Cross-sections of the heart at the level of the ventricles (short axis) showing previous transmural infarctions in the anterior and septal walls (arrows). These same places show thinning of the wall and, localized slight dilatation (aneurysm). There is also a cavitary thrombus in the ventricular apex (asterisk).

Right lung cross-section at its long axis showing the presence of thromboembolism in the central branch of the pulmonary artery (arrow). At the base, there are two triangular areas (asterisks) where the parenchyma is homogeneous and reddish in color, corresponding to recent pulmonary infarctions.
