Intramyocardial sewing needle extracted one year after insertion
eComment: In your case [1], a long needle was entered from the surface and as you explained, its movement was the reason for extracting it. I would like to know about a piece of missile that is in the wall of the left ventricle and maybe will not have any future movement. The patient has some atypical chest discomfort. Would you recommend extracting it with some certain injury to myocard?
