New Delhi, Sept 16 (ANI): In a strange case of heart surgery, three sewing needles were removed from the heart of a woman after 23 years.
Doctors in Zhengzhou, capital of Henan province, were successful in taking out the 4-cm-long needles that were stuck in Jiang's heart, reports the China Daily.
The 44-year-old Jiang, who is fond of knitting, had no knowledge that the needles were wedged in her heart.
