- W4380680382 abstract "Introduction: Patients with sickle cell disease are at risk for many types of cardiac complications. We present a case of endocarditis of the superior vena cava (SVC) in a 22-year-old male with sickle cell disease. Case study: A 22 year old male with sickle cell disease presented to the hospital with 3 days of fever, night sweats, generalized body pains, vomiting and poor oral intake. 6 weeks ago, he had been admitted to an outside hospital for Methicillin related Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteremia. At that time an implanted venous access port in the patient’s chest was removed and 4 weeks of intravenous(iv) vancomycin were administered. He was admitted to the hospital for sepsis. Blood cultures were drawn which were positive for MRSA. A transesophageal echocardiogram revealed a large mobile vegetation in the SVC ( Fig. 1) The proximal end of the vegetation extended beyond the echocardiographic field of view, so a CT scan of the chest with contrast was performed (Fig. 2) This showed intraluminal filling defects in the distal SVC along with pulmonary emboli in the lower lobes of the lungs bilaterally. His antibiotics were changed to iv daptomycin and ceftaroline but he remained persistently bacteremic for 14 days. Therefore, removal of the SVC vegetation/thrombus was performed using AngioVac venous drainage cannula system. This was followed by resolution of bacteremia, and he was discharged from the hospital 9 days later. Conclusion: Echocardiographic evaluation of endocarditis should involve a comprehensive evaluation of all cardiac structures and not be limited to valves only. AngioVac venous drainage cannula system can be used to remove infected vegetations/thrombus." @default.
