RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Native Aortic and Prosthetic Vascular Stent Infection on 99mTc-Labeled White Blood Cell Scintigraphy JF Journal of Nuclear Medicine Technology JO J. Nucl. Med. Technol. FD Society of Nuclear Medicine SP 120 OP 121 DO 10.2967/jnmt.113.127704 VO 42 IS 2 A1 Ryu, Seung Wook A1 Allman, Kevin C. YR 2014 UL http://tech.snmjournals.org/content/42/2/120.abstract AB The value of 99mTc-labeled white blood cell scintigraphy for endovascular prosthetic infections is well known. In the unique case reported here, infection of the native aorta was detected in addition to an infected vascular prosthesis. The case demonstrates that 99mTc-labeled white blood cell scintigraphy can identify not only the more usual prosthetic stent/graft infection but also infection of the native aorta. When scrutinizing studies for infection of prosthetic material, readers should also carefully examine the native aorta.
