    Journal: J Trauma; 1988 May; 28(5):719-20. PubMed ID: 3285019.
    Abstract:
    Bullet emboli are rare and their management when in the venous circulation is controversial. A 26-year-old female with a gunshot wound to the heart, followed by embolization of the bullet to the right hepatic vein, had successful percutaneous retrieval of the bullet via a catheter inserted through the right femoral vein.
