Missile embolism--pulmonary vein to systemic bullet embolism: a case report and review of the literature.

South African journal of surgery. Suid-Afrikaanse tydskrif vir chirurgie, 2008
Missile embolism occurs very rarely. It was first reported by Thomas Davis in 1834, and only 153 cases had been reported up to 1988. Rich et al. reported a 0.3% incidence in 7 500 cases of vascular injury in the Vietnam conflict. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of pulmonary vein entry and internal carotid artery embolisation.
