ABSTRACT
Migrations of orthopedic wires to cardiovascular system are uncommon and rarely reported. We report a case of right ventricle embolization with the Kirschner wire that was used for right 2nd rib osteosynthesis 2 years and 8 months previously in a 50-year-old man. The patient was asymptomatic and migration of the Kirschner wire was discovered by routine chest X-ray. An 8 cm-long Kirschner wire was successfully retrieved from the right ventricle. The treatment strategy for Kirschner wire removal from right ventricle is discussed.
