Meandering bullet in the pericardial sac: to remove or not to remove

H M Burkhart et al. Am Surg. 1998 Apr.

Abstract

Patients with bullets in the pericardial sac without obvious myocardial injuries are rare, making it difficult to analyze the natural history and propose management approaches. We present the case of a meandering bullet in the pericardial sac and a review of the literature.
