ABSTRACT
Bullet vascular embolism is a rare complication of gunshot wounds with risk of dire consequences and even death. Bullet embolism of internal carotid artery is extremely rare. Therefore, there is no uniform approach to the treatment of these patients. Nevertheless, removal of embolus through available surgical approach and arterial reconstruction with restoration of blood flow seems optimal. The authors present a 14-year-old patient with a wound to the left half of the chest from pneumatic gun complicated by bullet migration to the right ICA. Surgical intervention made it possible to remove the bullet from the artery and eliminate the risk of thrombosis and embolism. This case demonstrates the possibilities of open reconstructive surgery of supra-aortic vessels.
