  • Title: Wandering missiles: autopsy study.
    Author: Chapman AJ, McClain J.
    Journal: J Trauma; 1984 Jul; 24(7):634-7. PubMed ID: 6379202.
    Abstract:
    Five cases of firearm missile emboli are reported. Three were not unusual arterial bullet emboli. One, however, was a single shotgun pellet embolus which produced death from cerebral infarction. The fifth case appears to be the first known to embolize within the portal system and was associated with a 'wandering bullet' within the pericardial space.
