Shrapnel wound of the heart: a case report.
A case of cardiac injury in which a missile penetrated the inferior surface of the left ventricle and lodged in the interventricular septum is described. This unusual location, plus the fact that a piece of shrapnel at high velocity quickly loses speed owing to its aerodynamic instability, becoming a low-velocity missle, possible contributed to saving the patient's life.
