ABSTRACT
A 31-year-old man presented with multiple gunshot wounds. Mediastinal exploration revealed no signs of entry to the pericardium, but postoperative chest x-ray was concerning for a bullet fragment within the left ventricle. Emergent transesophageal echocardiography showed traumatic perforation of mitral valve, and further imaging showed multiple bullet emboli.
