RESUMO
A migração de pinos e hastes metálicas ortopédicos para a cavidade torácica é rara e pouco descrita na literatura médica, embora seja potencialmente fatal, principalmente quando atingem o coração ou grandes vasos intratorácicos. Reportamos um caso de migração de fio de Kirschner, implantado na clavícula direita há 10 anos, transfixando a aorta torácica em sua porção ascendente, sendo retirado por toracotomia póstero-lateral esquerda.
