[Hazards and complications of temporary endocardial stimulation].

In conducting 381 stimulations in 330 patients with brady- and tachysystolic disorders of cardiac rhythm of various etiology 122 complications were revealed. Dislocation of the electrode was noted in 71 cases (18.6%), perforation of the myocardium by the endocardial electrode in 9 (2.1%), ventricular fibrillation in 11 (2.3%), and sepsis in 5 (1.3%) of the cases. A special device may be used for the immediate detection of dislocation. Characteristic changes are noted on the intracardiac ECG in penetration of the electrode into the myocardium (precursor of perforation).

Migration of a kirschner wire in the body. A case report.

Foreign bodies may enter the body by various ways, yet migration in the body seldom occurs. A case is described where a Kirschner wire, which had been inserted in the shoulder joint, migrated through the pleural cavity and the diaphragm, apparently by force of gravity. It was subsequently easily removed by laparotomy.

Bullet embolus: heart to right femoral artery.

Our case report of survival from a cardiac gunshot wound with subsequent embolization to the right femoral artery has included plain films and arteriographic confirmation, a review of the mechanics of intracardiac bullet embolization, its incidence, survival rates, and management, and review of the literature.

[A swallowed needle found in the kidney pelvis].

The case of a young female patient is discussed. The authors removed out of the renal hollow system of this patient a needle. The foreign body passed perorally into the renal pelvis after perforation of the duodenum. There the thicker end of the needle was encrusted; a pyelonephrosis, then a septic condition developed. After removal of the needle the kidney operated on showed a good function.

[Gunshot wounds in peace and their treatment. Review of the literature].

For therapy of bullet-wounds in peace profound knowledge of their pathogenesis is necessary. This may be especially true for wounds evoked by new developed weapons. It may be assumed that often therapists are not familiar with the effects of these modern weapons. This review of 27 international publications therefore represents particularities of wounds of the body cavities and the extremities. Furthermore the problem of bulletembolies is represented.

Spontaneous extrusion of intraocular foreign body after 11 years.

A case of spontaneous extrusion of intraocular foreign body after 11 years is presented. Despite being magnetic and containing mostly iron the foreign body could not be removed in repeated magnet trials. It was retained in the ciliary body region for a very long time without causing siderosis. The foreign body was spontaneously extruded without any signs of intraocular inflammation.
