Kirschner wire migration from the right second rib to the right ventricle: a case report
【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.
