Abstract EN
We present a case of hemothorax due to ruptured mycotic aneurysm in three intercostal arteries in a 40-year-old male with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infective endocarditis (IE) due to intravenous drug use.
Microcoil embolization and thoracotomy successfully achieved hemostasis.
Mycotic aneurysm is a rare complication of IE and is usually found in the intracranial vessels.
Ruptured mycotic aneurysm in the intercostal arteries can be associated with IE and can present as acute hemothorax.
