Embolia arterial periférica por projétil de arma de fogo em civis: diagnóstico confirmado pelo ultrassom vascular

Abstract: Descrevemos um caso de oclusão arterial aguda por projétil de arma de fogo. Devido à raridade do caso (23 relatos em 20 anos) e a importância do diagnóstico diferencial precoce, uma revisão bibliográfica foi realizada. Foram abordados aspectos do quadro clínico, diagnóstico diferencial e tratamento. Neste caso, o diagnóstico por meio de ultrassom vascular da complicação foi publicado pela primeira vez.

“…Penetrating injury to major vessels could be fatal; however, in some cases, a bullet may lose its kinetic energy at the entrance, allowing it to penetrate the vessel but not transfix it. Thereby entering the vascular system and as a result, it travels through the bloodstream until it occlude a peripheral artery in a distant location from where the injury occurred [ 3 ]. This explains the scenario in our case where the bullet’s kinetic energy was sufficient to penetrate the subclavian artery but not enough to exit it.…”
