Selective management of embolized intracardiac missiles

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1996
Intracardiac projectiles are occasionally found in stable patients who have sustained penetrating trauma. These missiles may arise from embolization from a peripheral injury site. We describe 3 patients with embolized intracardiac projectiles. The diagnosis was suggested by the presence of a foreign body within the cardiac silhouette on chest ...

Collaborative Management of Missile Injury to Right Ventricle and Subsequent Pulmonary Embolization

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2018
Pulmonary embolization of a missile is a rare phenomenon. Localization after embolization can be confounding, and there is no consensus on management. This report describes a case of a gunshot wound to the chest with preoperative and initial intraoperative imaging localizing the bullet to the right ventricle but a negative intraoperative exploration of

Embolization of Inferior Vena Cava Filter Tyne and Right Ventricular Perforation: A Cardiac Missile

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2016
Inferior vena cava (IVC) filter is a medical device placed in patients with proven pulmonary embolism or those with risk of embolization. Although many IVC filters are designed for removal after patient recovery, in many instances they are never retrieved.

Intravascular missile embolization in childhood: Report of a case, literature review, and recommendations for management

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1990
A collective review of 20 cases of missile embolization among children (1961 to 1988) is analyzed, one case added, and guidelines for diagnosis and management are outlined. Causative agents were bullets (14 patients), pellets (5), and fragments (2). Their trajectory was arterioarterial (11), venovenous (5), paradoxical (4), and mixed (1). Diagnosis was

Abdominal Shotgun Wound With Pellet Embolization Leading to Bilateral Lower Limb Amputation: Case Report and Review of the Literature of Missile Emboli Over the Past 10 Years

Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection & Critical Care, 2009
Missile embolus is an unusual but recognized complication of gunshot injuries. Originally described in 1834, some 160 cases were reported in 1996. We present a case study of a 17-year-old man with an abdominal shotgun wound who, in addition to serious internal injuries, also sustained pellet embolization of the lower limb arterial supply resulting in ...

Missile embolization revisited: a rationale for selective management.

The American surgeon, 1995
Embolization of missiles is an unusual presentation of penetrating trauma. Often the management of these injuries may be quite challenging, and selective management continues to be subject to controversy. We report a case of a bullet embolus to the right ventricle from the internal iliac vein in a 15-year-old boy that was managed with observation.
