Bullet emboli can prove to be a clinical challenge. Adjuncts such as X-ray, computed tomography, transthoracic, and/or transesophageal echocardiography help establish the emboli location. While observation in the asymptomatic patient is reasonable in some circumstances, most patients undergo removal. Removal of bullet cardiac emboli is safe with the availability of modern techniques.
