    Author: Nalos M, Huang SJ, Ting I, McLean AS.
    Journal: J Am Soc Echocardiogr; 2004 May; 17(5):464-5. PubMed ID: 15122188.
    Abstract:
    A 25-year-old man, who was a known intravenous drug user, underwent transesophageal echocardiography as part of investigation for suggested infective endocarditis. Tricuspid valve infective endocarditis was diagnosed. The simultaneous visualization of right-sided empyema, previously undiagnosed, by transesophageal echocardiography, led to operative treatment by thoracoscopy and right lung decortication.
