Abstract

Migratory intravascular bullets may produce confusing clinical pictures in patients with gunshot wounds. We report on a patient in whom the missile entered the right chest at the fourth intercostal space in the anterior axillary line. The bullet was finally found in the abdominal aorta. The penetration site remained unclear but was probably the heart. After repair of the chest wall the bullet was successfully removed from the aortic bifurcation.
