Abstract:
An eighty-six-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for bacterial septic shock due to splenic abscess. He had undergone percutaneous coronary intervention 3 weeks earlier. Percutaneous splenic abscess drainage was urgently performed under ultrasonography, and then the general state of the patient rapidly improved. Staphylococcus hemolyticus was isolated from the splenic abscess. We reported that percutaneous catheter drainage was effective for splenic abscess.
