Arterial bullet embolization after a thoracic gunshot wound represents a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. The absence of an apparent exit wound should alert the clinician. Cardiac bullet injuries are mostly fatal. However, in some cases, patients may remain stable, and conservative management can be an acceptable strategy. We present a case report of a 7.62- × 39-mm thoracic stray bullet that embolized to the femoral artery.
胸部枪伤后动脉子弹栓塞是一项诊断和治疗难题。没有明显的出口伤口应引起临床医生的警觉。心脏枪伤大多是致命的。然而,在某些情况下,患者可能保持稳定,保守治疗可能是一种可接受的策略。我们报告一例7.62×39毫米的胸部流弹栓塞至股动脉的病例。
