Successful daptomycin lock therapy for implantable intra-arterial catheter infection in a patient with liver metastases of colon cancer.

Abstract
There are no data on how to manage implantable intra-arterial catheter (IAC) infections. We report the case of a patient with liver metastases of colon cancer treated by regional intra-arterial chemotherapy who presented a suspected IAC-related infection, in whom daptomycin systemic treatment and lock therapy allowed to cure the IAC infection.
