Abstract

One case of tricuspid valve endocarditis due to a catheter fragment inside the right chambers of the heart is described. The symptoms were fever, cardiac failure, splenomegaly and relapsing pneumonia. Blood culture was positive, revealing Staphylococcus aureus. A two-dimensional echocardiogram demonstrated a large vegetation on the tricuspid valve. The percutaneous removal of the foreign body allowed complete recovery in a few weeks.
