Abstract:
Bullet embolism to the right ventricle after a gunshot wound is exceptional. We describe a patient in whom the bullet after entering through the superior vena cava migrated for the venous system with further embolism to the right ventricle. Clinical history, diagnosis and treatment are discussed.
