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.<br />Competing Interests: The authors declare that they have no conflict of interest.<br /> (© 2020 The Author(s).)
