    Author: Unkle D, Shaikh KA.
    Journal: Heart Lung; 1988 Jul; 17(4):363-5. PubMed ID: 3292463.
    Abstract:
    Intravascular foreign body emboli, although first reported in 1834, are rare sequelae of penetrating injuries. We report a case of missile embolus to the pulmonary artery after penetrating injury to the left iliac vein and artery. A review of the literature and discussion of appropriate management are presented.
