Inferior Vena Caval Bullet Embolism

Asian Cardiovascular and Thoracic Annals, 1996
We report a case of bullet penetration into the left iliac vein, with embolus into the inferior vena cava and migration up to the junction of the inferior vena cava and the right atrium. The bullet was subsequently extracted through laparotomy from the infrarenal segment of the inferior vena cava, just above its bifurcation.

Intravascular Bullet Embolism to the Right Atrium

Journal of Forensic Sciences, 2010
Abstract:  Bullet embolism is a relatively unusual complication of gunshot wounds. Embolism to the right atrium comprises <5% of all reported intravascular bullet emboli. We report an additional case of bullet embolus to the right atrium of a 0.38‐caliber bullet following a gunshot wound to the chest.

Venous bullet embolism to the right ventricle

The British Journal of Radiology, 2007
Bullet embolism is a rare complication of penetrating vascular trauma that requires a high index of suspicion for timely diagnosis and management. Delays in identification may result in poor early management and subsequent loss of limb or life [1]. There are two types of bullet embolism: arterial and venous.

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
