Diagnosis and treatment of vascular graft and endograft infections: a structured clinical approach

Marjan Wouthuyzen-Bakker et al.

Summary: Vascular graft or endograft infection (VGEI) is a serious complication of vascular surgery, which has high morbidity and mortality rates. To diagnose and treat VGEI effectively, a multidisciplinary team of vascular surgeons, infectious disease specialists, medical microbiologists, radiologists, nuclear medicine specialists, and hospital pharmacists is required. A structured diagnostic, antibiotic, and surgical treatment algorithm can help guide clinical decision-making and improve the clinical outcome of patients with VGEI.

Vascular Graft Infection Imaging

Elite Arnon-Sheleg et al.

Summary: Vascular graft infection is a rare and life-threatening complication with challenging diagnosis. There is no single gold standard test, and diagnosis relies on clinical and radiological criteria. Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for patient management and complication prevention. Computed tomography angiography is the first-choice imaging modality but has limited sensitivity and specificity in early and low-grade infections. Nuclear medicine imaging methods can improve diagnostic accuracy.

18F-FDG-Uptake in Mediastinal Lymph Nodes in Suspected Prosthetic Valve Endocarditis: Predictor or Confounder?

Derk ten Hove et al.

Summary: Assessment of mediastinal lymph node activity did not improve the diagnostic accuracy of F-18-FDG-PET/CT for suspected PVE, suggesting the need for further research in this area.

State of the art of 18F-FDG PET/CT application in inflammation and infection: a guide for image acquisition and interpretation

Massimiliano Casali et al.

Summary: The clinical use of [F-18]FDG PET/CT or PET/MRI in assessing inflammation and infection is increasing globally. This paper aims to achieve an Italian consensus document on the application of [F-18]FDG PET/CT or PET/MRI in inflammatory and infectious diseases, covering various conditions such as osteomyelitis, prosthetic joint infections, and COVID-19 infections.

Spectrum of [18F]FDG-PET/CT Findings in Benign Lymph Node Pathology

Merissa N. Zeman et al.

Summary: Diffuse lymphadenopathy can have various causes including inflammation, infection, or malignancy. While FDG-PET/CT is not specific for malignancy, it can aid in ruling out certain diseases and narrowing the differential diagnosis in the appropriate clinical context.

Limitations and Pitfalls of FDG-PET/CT in Infection and Inflammation

Jordy P. Pijl et al.

Summary: White blood cells activated by pathogens or inflammation have high energy consumption and show strong affinity for the glucose analogue PET tracer FDG. FDG PET/CT is increasingly used to diagnose non-oncological diseases, but it has limitations in patients with infectious or inflammatory diseases, leading to higher false positive findings and lower sensitivity. New developments in PET/CT may help overcome some of these limitations.
