Abstract

A 38-year-old man with a gunshot in his back and angina pectoris was admitted to our hospital. There were ST elevations in inferior leads on his electrocardiogram (Fig 1) and a suspicious view of a shot in the right coronary area in the computed tomographic image. The patient was taken to surgery. The only entrance of the shot was the lateral wall of left ventricle. Intraoperative coronary angiography showed the shot in the right coronary artery, but the right coronary was intact and there were no entrance fort the shot except right coronary ostia (Fig 2).
