In June of 1995, a 48-year-old woman was admitted to an outlying hospital with a history of stomach pain several weeks in duration. A few years before, she had undergone orthopedic surgery because of bilateral coxarthrosis. Total endoprosthesis had been implanted at both hips. Chest radiography showed a metal foreign body (apparently a Kirschner wire) in the heart, whereas right-hip radiography showed no Kirschner wire. Echocardiography indicated that the wire was in the right ventricle. The patient underwent open-heart surgery, and the 5-cm-long Kirschner wire was removed from the right ventricle through a right atriotomy. To the best of our knowledge, this is the only reported instance of intracardiac embolization of a Kirschner wire.
1995年6月，一名48岁女性因持续数周的胃痛病史入住一家偏远医院。几年前，她因双侧髋关节病接受了骨科手术，双侧髋关节均植入了全髋关节假体。胸部X线检查显示心脏内有金属异物（显然是一根克氏针），而右髋关节X线检查未显示克氏针。超声心动图显示该金属丝位于右心室。患者接受了心脏直视手术，通过右心房切开术从右心室取出了这根5厘米长的克氏针。据我们所知，这是克氏针心脏内栓塞的唯一报告病例。
