note = "Venous missile embolism is a rare complication of penetrating trauma which poses controversial management options. We report a case of hepatic vein bullet embolism treated by percutaneous transvenous basket relocation and extraction via femoral vein cutdown. A review of 102 reported bullet emboli since 1930 indicates that the morbidity of a retained projectile is substantial (25\%), while removal using modern techniques has few complications.",
