dc.description.abstract | Elective removal of intra-myocardial bullet remains a controversial subject. A non-operative approach has been recommended as appropriate for a stable asymptomatic patient. In the presence of complications such as bleeding, perforation leading to cardiac tamponade, thrombus formation, embolization, rhythm disturbances and infections, surgical removal may be advised. We present a patient who survived multiple gunshot wounds with a bullet lodged in the wall of the left ventricle of the heart. Details of the injuries sustained, operative removal of the bullet and the challenges that ensued are illustrated. | en_US |
