Multiple Shotgun Pellet Embolization to the Pulmonary Artery
Pellet embolization to the pulmonary artery from a shotgun injury is a rare event. Our current experience with this entity is described. We reviewed the literature of Bullet Embolization with emphasis on management. We believe that shotgun pellet pulmonary artery embolism should be regarded as a separate entity from bullet embolism. The mechanism of injury and its sequelae, leading to complication is very much subtle compared to bullet embolism per se.
