Abstract:

In rare cases the implantation or use of a port-a-cath can be complicated by venous perforation or catheter-related infection. We describe a patient with these two complications resulting in Staphylococcus aureus mediastinitis. Removal of the device and prolonged antibiotic therapy cured the infection.
