    Bullet emboli to the pulmonary artery: a rare occurrence.

    • E L Patten and H E Morales.
    • J Trauma. 1982 Sep 1; 22 (9): 801-2.

    AbstractIn two cases of bullet embolization to the pulmonary artery the bullets were left in place. Removal of the bullet was felt to be an unnecessary surgical risk. A two-year and six-year follow-up revealed no complications. In both instances the patients received adequate blood replacement for resuscitation and levels of antibiotics considered high enough to eradicate any possible infection from the contaminated missile.
