Endocarditis is a type of infection that is common in internal medicine wards and in haemodialysis clinics. The location that is most affected are the heart valves. Herein, we report a case of an uncommon abscess, a sub-endothelial abscess between the transition of the superior vena cava and the right atrium. There were several emboli to the lung and foot, and the agent was related to Staphylococcus aureus and a double-lumen catheter. Usually, this type of abscess is located in valves, either the tricuspid valve if related to catheters or injection drug use or the mitral valve if related to other causes. An exhaustive review was made, but we found no information about the location of this abscess and the rarity of the event motivating the report of infection.
心内膜炎是一种在内科病房和血液透析诊所常见的感染类型。受影响最严重的部位是心脏瓣膜。在此，我们报告一例罕见的脓肿病例，即上腔静脉与右心房交界处的内皮细胞下脓肿。有多个肺和足部栓子，病原体与金黄色葡萄球菌和双腔导管有关。通常，这种类型的脓肿位于瓣膜，与导管或注射吸毒相关时位于三尖瓣，与其他原因相关时位于二尖瓣。我们进行了详尽的文献检索，但未找到关于此脓肿位置的信息，且该感染事件罕见，故予以报告。
