A Hunting Accident

Abstract

A 65-year-old male was admitted to the emergency department after sustaining a gunshot wound to his chest and abdomen, owing to a hunting accident. He was initially haemodynamically stable with a blood pressure of 120/70, and his ECG showed no particular disturbance. Computed tomography revealed multiple buckshot in his thorax and his abdomen (Figure 1). In the heart, two lead shots were situated in the interventricular septum, accompanied with a slight hemopericardium.
