Abstract
A 66-year-old man treated for 4 months with renal dialysis through a right subclavian catheter (required because of a left upper arm arteriovenous fistula complicated by persistent edema) was hospitalized for bacteremia.

A noninvasive combination of nuclear medicine scans provided a diagnosis of left subclavian vein septic thrombus and guided successful antibiotic treatment.
