The Value Of FDG PET/CT In The Diagnosis Of Aortic Stent Graft Infections

Publication

Abstract

Endovascular aortic repair with stent graft (SG) insertion is a method of choice for the treatment of growing aortic aneurysm or dissection. FDG PET/CT is a recognized method for the diagnosis of infected surgical vascular grafts, but the literature evidence on its use in suspected stent graft infection (SGI) is scarce.

Our aim was to analyse the value of FDG PET/CT in the diagnosis of SGI.
