Doctors in Zhengzhou, capital of Henan province, successfully removed three sewing needles stuck in a woman's heart for 23 years.

Jiang, 44, an avid knitter, said she was unaware the needles had been sticking out of her heart for so many years.

Doctors spotted the needles, each 4-cm-long, in Jiang's heart during a random health checkup last month.
