Here, we presentan absolutely rare case of right atrial (RA) wall abscess accompanying tricuspid valve (TV) IE which was only revealed bytransesophageal echocardiography (TEE). The patient was anend-stage renal disease (ESRD) case who was receiving hemodialysis (HD) via a dual-lumen cuffed venous catheter. Theunique feature of this case is the anatomical location of theabscess in the RA wall as well as multiple septic vegetationsdistant from the TV.
