Abstract:
Bullet emboli are an interesting but rare occurrence and their management when situated in the venous system remains controversial. Two cases of venous bullet embolism to the right heart are reported due to airgun pellet injuries. Both cases required bullet embolectomy using cardio-pulmonary bypass.
