Bullet embolization to a coronary artery

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1993
A rare case of coronary artery embolization is presented. A 48-year-old man arrived with multiple pellet wounds, severe chest pain, and an inferior myocardial infarction. Chest roentgenograms showed one of the pellets overlying the cardiac shadow, and coronary arteriography revealed complete occlusion of the posterior descending branch of the right ...

Missing Bullets: Bullet Embolization Case Series and Review of the Literature

Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, 2022
Purpose Bullet embolization is a rare but dangerous phenomenon. Based on the location of embolization, migration of bullets can cause limb or intra-abdominal ischemia, pulmonary infarction, cardiac valve injury, or cerebrovascular accident. Bullet emboli can present a diagnostic challenge given the varied nature of complications based on location of ...

Retrograde Venous Bullet Embolism

The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 1981
Bullets may embolize against normal blood flow into distal veins because of gravity or the Valsalva maneuver. A case is described in which a bullet was fluoroscopically repositioned from the popliteal vein into the area of a lacerated iliac vein and trapped with a balloon catheter obviating popliteal exploration.

Embolization of bullet to the right ventricle

The American Journal of Surgery, 2000
A36-year-old man sustained a shotgun injury to his left buttock. Scout computed tomography film revealed the pellets in the left buttock as well as one pellet over the cardiac silhouette (arrow in Figure 1 points to pellet). Actual computed tomography image confirms the pellet artifact within the right ventricle, demonstrating embolization to the heart

Renal Artery Bullet Embolism

The American Journal of Forensic Medicine and Pathology, 1992
Bullet embolism is a well-recognized phenomenon. While bullet embolism is not common, renal artery bullet embolism appears to be very rare. We report three cases of bullet embolism to a renal artery. Autopsy findings and bullet types are presented. Such cases are of particular interest to both the medical examiner and the clinician. Failure to consider

TRANS-THORACIC VENOUS BULLET EMBOLISM

The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 1975
Bullet emboli from peripheral wounds occur with sufficient frequency that they must be considered in every case of missile injury not accompanied by an exit wound. A case is presented which demonstrated a venous migration of such a bullet from the axillary vein into the femoral vein through the heart, presumably by gravity.
