  • Title: Missile migration from lung to heart with delayed systemic embolization.
    Author: Fisk RL, Addetia A, Gelfand ET, Brooks CH, Dvorkin J.
    Journal: Chest; 1977 Oct; 72(4):534-5. PubMed ID: 332462.
    Abstract:
    A bullet migrated from the heart to the left femoral artery in a youth ten days after he sustained a gunshot wound to the right chest. The bullet apparently traversed the pulmonary venous system at the time of the injury and lodged in the interior of the left ventricle. The production of an embolism in the systemic circulation was a delayed and unanticipated event.
