A shotgun pellet is depicted in the present image in a carotid artery under the intima, which remained intact without local complications for up to six months. There is lack of data regarding the natural history of such a carotid pellet, but the experience from the myocardium is that, in the absence of infection, completely embedded missiles are usually asymptomatic, tolerated well and may be left in place.
在当前图像中,一枚猎枪子弹丸位于颈动脉内膜下,内膜保持完整,长达六个月未出现局部并发症。目前缺乏关于此类颈动脉子弹丸自然病程的数据,但来自心肌方面的经验表明,在没有感染的情况下,完全嵌入的弹丸通常无症状,耐受性良好,可留在体内。
