Abstract

We describe the management of bullet embolism from a penetrating cardiac injury, including the clinical, radiographic, and operative considerations in this challenging trauma scenario. Bullet embolism represents a rare but complex subset of ballistic penetrating trauma, and highlights the importance of radiographic correlation with intraoperative findings.
