External iliac artery injury secondary to indirect pressure wave effect from gunshot wound / 中华创伤杂志(英文版)

ABSTRACT

In patients presenting with gunshot wounds, a high clinical suspicion of injury to vasculature and viscera remote from the projectile track is paramount. We present a case of a 17 year old male who sustained a gunshot wound to his abdomen and subsequently developed a right external iliac artery contusion requiring surgery as an indirect effect of the pressure wave from the bullet.
