Abstract
Intravascular foreign bodies represent a rare but potentially life-threatening complication of medical procedures. This article describes the clinical case of a 15-year-old female patient whom, after an intravenous injection, needle fracture occurred with subsequent migration through the venous system into the lower lobe of the left lung, where it became localized within the lumen of the laterobasal artery of segment S9. The needle was removed using video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. The postoperative period was uneventful.
