Abstract
1. 1. A new method for localizing radiopaque intrathoracic foreign bodies by angiocardiography is presented. 2. 2. Two cases of intracardiac foreign body are presented in detail, illustrating the use of angiocardiography. In one, removal of the foreign body was thought not technically possible because of its location. In the other, removal was carried out. 3. 3. Our experience suggests that angiocardiography should be performed within a few days of operation, as the foreign bodies may move or become more deeply embedded in the cardiac tissues. 4. 4. While this is a preliminary report, the method appears to offer considerable information at slight risk and to merit further application.
