  • Title: Thrombophlebitis following a bullet embolus to the popliteal vein.
    Author: Mullins RJ, Sherman RT.
    Journal: J Trauma; 1985 Mar; 25(3):266-8. PubMed ID: 3884828.
    Abstract:
    A patient who had a bullet embolus to the right popliteal vein developed an extensive thrombophlebitis from the popliteal to the common iliac vein. We suggest that following extraction of a bullet that has embolized to a major extremity vein, it may be necessary to anticoagulate the patient.
