Current Trends in the Diagnosis of Vascular Prosthesis Infection

Original language description

Early diagnosis of an infected vascular prosthesis, a potentially life-threatening disease, is a precondition of adequate treatment. The most frequently used diagnostic imaging method is computer tomography. Non-acute infections caused by low grade agents may pose a challenge with ambiguous CT-images and other ancillary imaging methods are used for these cases, each offering different levels of diagnostic sensitivity. These methods come from the fields of radiology (magnetic resonance imaging - MRI) andnuclear medicine studies using labelled leukocytes (In-111 or Tc-99m-HMPAO), Tc-99m labelled antigranulocyte antibodies, Ga-67-citrate or labelled antibiotics (Tc-99m-ciprofloxacin) or avidin in combination with In-111-biotin. Positron emission tomography (PET) or hybrid PET/CT using F-18-FDG are becoming increasingly popular. The authors of this review article point out the diagnostic potential of the different methods and current trends, including the possibilities of microbiological
