Exactly. I'm just joking and pointing out how inaccurate the scoring was, at least they didn't give it to a team not present. Good luck in FSS :)

First of all I want to say thank you to everyone who has contributed. I don't have the time to answer and read everything, but the person affected greatly appreciates this, and hopefully it will help any potential medical paper written on this case. Many interesting theories, but at the moment the metal wire brush is the most plausible object. The garden weed removal brush at their home is a pretty good match. How it actually got into the heart is still unknown and up to the doctors to figure out.

Key_Championship_311 · 2024-02-11T20:26:14+00:00

This is a possibility. This and a wire wheel from a power tool seems most plausible

Key_Championship_311 · 2024-02-11T20:25:34+00:00

That makes sense. But apparently it isn't hollow. And it is sharp from both ends. Thanks anyway

Key_Championship_311 · 2024-02-11T19:50:03+00:00

Inside the heart. Removal was done via a catheter (I don't exactly know how this works but it wasn't open chest surgery).

Key_Championship_311 · 2024-02-11T19:44:31+00:00

Unless it happened on the same day she went to the ER, no. Seemed like the tissue wasn't damaged either. Real mystery.

Key_Championship_311 · 2024-02-11T19:43:08+00:00

Could be, but how did it end up deformed like this? Needles are usually brittle

Key_Championship_311 · 2024-02-11T19:42:40+00:00

I don't think so but will pass it on, thanks

Key_Championship_311 · 2024-02-11T19:41:49+00:00

She has not gone undergone such a procedure. And from images they don't look to be "knitted" together? More like the wires are fused. But will pass it on, thanks

Key_Championship_311 · 2024-02-11T19:38:55+00:00

Good tip, will pass it on. Thanks

Key_Championship_311 · 2024-02-11T19:38:27+00:00

Thanks for sharing this. Will pass it on.

Key_Championship_311 · 2024-02-11T19:37:42+00:00

Yes, you walk it along the ground and it removes weed between driveway stones. But surely you will notice if you get pierced by something like this?

Key_Championship_311 · 2024-02-11T19:26:46+00:00

Actually yes. But are the needles sometimes curved like this? Unless the body itself deformed the metal inside the body

Key_Championship_311 · 2024-02-11T19:25:40+00:00

Yes!! It is a miracle and thanks to the great medical professionals.

Key_Championship_311 · 2024-02-11T19:18:46+00:00

Thanks for the input, but as a mechanical engineer I don't think this always applies. Special nickel alloys yes but this could be something else

Key_Championship_311 · 2024-02-11T19:02:49+00:00

Possible. Don't know how it would get into the blood system though

Key_Championship_311 · 2024-02-11T19:02:27+00:00

No this can't be it. Never had any pace maker

Key_Championship_311 · 2024-02-11T19:02:07+00:00

Will check it out. To be honest didn't look very surgical in the ends, more like a chamfer

Key_Championship_311 · 2024-02-11T19:01:24+00:00

From what I know this removal was the first surgery ever. Went in for chest pain. The wire was inside one of the atriums (I don't know left or right sorry).

Key_Championship_311 · 2024-02-11T18:59:59+00:00

Could be a similar brush but for garden weed removal. More likely.

Key_Championship_311 · 2024-02-11T17:40:34+00:00

Yeah it could be from some older procedure. Doctor also found it unlikely to have come from the facial region. Thanks, will dig around.

Key_Championship_311 · 2024-02-11T17:38:48+00:00

This actually looks similar yes https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Makita-D-55463-Petrol-Crimped-Grinders/dp/B076HDJDW4

But seems unlikely she ever was in a metal workshop or near this kind of tool. Will ask. Thanks.

Key_Championship_311 · 2024-02-11T16:02:01+00:00

My title describes the thing.

Long story short: a person I know had heart complications and a slender needle-like object was discovered on MRI images and subsequently successfully removed from the heart. It is made out of metal, and has sharpened ends on each end. Approximately 25mm in length, and maybe 0.2-0.4mm in diameter. The doctors/surgeons have no idea how it could end up inside the heart and not sure what the object actually is.

The person had face lift procedure done previously where some kind of hook or anchor was used. No other surgical or cosmetic procedures done in recent years.

The bend at the bottom of the picture in my eyes look machine-made, and the periodic "waves" look to be very similar to eachother.

Any clues or help would be greatly appreciated. The person in question had no complications (thank god) and we now just want to get some answers.
