But thanks to the professionalism of doctors at all stages of medical evacuation, the patient was saved!
The fragment was located in the interventricular membrane, topographically very close to the valves, so it had to be removed immediately.

The operation was performed under conditions of artificial blood circulation, the heart had to be completely stopped.
It was possible to get the metal fragment thanks to an innovative technique - a neodymium magnet.
