Objective: To investigate diagnostic role of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose PET/CT in patients with suspected vascular graft (VG) infection.
Material And Methods: A prospective analysis included data of 30 PET/CT examinations for suspected infection of aortic VG (=27) and bypass grafts (=3) after surgical treatment (median 48 months). In 77% (23/30) of cases, the diagnosis was initially «possible» (=11) or «rejected» (=12) in accordance with common diagnostic criteria.
