2. Pulmonary embolism
3. Coronary artery thrombosis
4. Myocardial infarction
5. Aortic aneurysm
Correct Answer: 1,2
Deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism are both classified as venous thromboembolisms. A coronary artery thrombosis is an arterial thromboembolism, not a venous thromboembolism. Aortic aneurysm is not a thromboembolism but a weakening of the aortic artery. A myocardial infarction is the damage or death of heart muscle from the sudden blockage of the coronary artery by a blood clot.
