We report a case of sternal wire migration into the pulmonary artery. A 66-year-old man who had undergone thymectomy through median sternotomy 3 years ago was admitted because of a fractured sternal wire in the right pulmonary artery on computed tomography during the postoperative follow-up. It was removed directly from the pulmonary artery under cardiopulmonary bypass. The postoperative course was uneventful. Although migrated sternal wire into the heart or vascular tissue is very rare, care is necessary for its disruption and displacement after sternotomy.
我们报告一例胸骨钢丝移入肺动脉的病例。一名66岁男性，3年前接受了经正中胸骨切开术的胸腺切除术，术后随访期间因计算机断层扫描显示右肺动脉内胸骨钢丝断裂而入院。在体外循环下直接从肺动脉取出钢丝。术后病程顺利。尽管胸骨钢丝移入心脏或血管组织非常罕见，但胸骨切开术后仍需注意其断裂和移位情况。
