The article reports the clinical observation of the successful surgical treatment of a patient with a penetrating gunshot injury of the abdomen and the peforating wound of the mesentery of the ileum, the cecum and the external iliac vein with intense bleeding. The foreign body (bullet) entered the system of the inferior vena cava through the external iliac vein defect and migrated into the cavity of the right atrium, and then into the inferior vena cava.
