KAYA, Sefer et al. Foreign body embolization by the aortic root due to a fire gun injury: A case report of a 10-year-old asymptomatic patient. Cir. cir. [online]. 2022, vol.90, n.6, pp.830-832.  Epub 09-Dez-2022. ISSN 2444-054X.  https://doi.org/10.24875/ciru.22000282.

Foreign body embolies that origin arterial system have mostly seen symptomatic and that’s why they require emergency surgery. However, asymptomatic cases are followed conservatively, they can cause vascular-related end-organ pathologies as time passes. Foreign body migration from the ascending aorta to the end-organ artery is a very rare in literature after a fire gun injury. In symptomatic cases, emergency surgery should be planned immediately. In asymptomatic cases, the risks and benefits should first be considered before any surgical approach.
