Abstract

Prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) is a sinister complication, with high morbidity and mortality. Diagnosis is conventionally based on modified Duke Criteria. 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) has shown high accuracy in diagnosing PVE. Positive 18F-FDG uptake in prosthetic valves on PET-CT is now considered major criteria for diagnosis of PVE. We share our experience of 18F-FDG PET-CT imaging as a problem solving tool in a case of suspected PVE and review the relevant literature.

摘要

人工瓣膜心内膜炎（PVE）是一种险恶的并发症，高发病率和死亡率。诊断通常基于改良的Duke标准。18F-氟脱氧葡萄糖（18F-FDG）正电子发射断层扫描计算机断层扫描（PET-CT）在诊断PVE方面显示出很高的准确性。PET-CT上人工瓣膜中18F-FDG的阳性摄取现在被认为是诊断PVE的主要标准。我们分享我们在18F-FDGPET-CT成像作为疑似PVE病例中解决问题的工具的经验，并回顾相关文献。
