Here a very unusual case is reported: a migratory broken sewing needle traveled from a man's left arm to his heart and was successfully removed by open heart surgery.The patient was a 24-year-old single male laborer. About 11 days prior to his admission to Taiwan Veterans General Hospital, the inner aspect of his left upper arm was accidentally penetrated by a household sewing needle. The extending part (about one third) of the needle was fractured, making withdrawal of the remainder impossible. Immediate x-ray examination at a private clinic disclosed the needle fragment to have been retained in the left upper arm. He suffered no discomfort until five days after injury, when he suddenly sustained a sharp chest pain of brief duration. Chest films were taken and disclosed the presence of the broken needle in his heart (Fig 1). Followup chest films at TVGH showed no definite change in the position of the broken needle. Open heart surgery with the aid of extracorporeal perfusion, was carried out on October 12, 1973, four days after admission. The right ventricular cavity was entered through a small longitudinal right ventriculotomy. The needle fragment was found embedded in the interventricular septum near the apex. Only a small part of the needle (about 0.4 cm), ringed by a band of thrombus, could be viewed from the right ventricle. The remaining part had probably penetrated the interventricular septum towards the left ventricle. The needle, measuring 2 cm long and noted to be rusty, was carefully removed.The patient stood the operative procedure well and had an uneventful postoperative course.
