We report a case of Staphylococcus aureus endocarditis with late onset in a 39-year-old male drug abuser, who presented with bacterial meningitis. Despite resolution of the meningitis as the result of appropriate antimicrobial chemotherapy he developed triple valve endocarditis. Some striking features of this case and a comparison with other reported cases of this uncommon presentation of infective endocarditis are discussed.

Abstract

The internal mammary artery is the conduit of choice for cardiac revascularization. Atherosclerotic disease of the coronary arteries may simultaneously involve the subclavian artery. Proximal stenosis in the left subclavian artery may result in recurrent myocardial ischemia in patients with a patent left internal mammary artery (LIMA), due to coronary steal syndrome through the LIMA.
