Utilidad de la 18 F-FDG PET/TC en un caso de sospecha de infección de injerto vascular

Abstract

Resumen La infeccion del injerto vascular protesico (VPGI) se asocia a una gran morbimortalidad. Es esencial un diagnostico precoz y preciso para llevar a cabo el tratamiento mas adecuado. Presentamos el caso de un varon de 74 anos intervenido de by-pass aorto-bifemoral con sospecha clinica de infeccion de la protesis vascular y pruebas complementarias no concluyentes, en el que se realiza un estudio PET/TC con 18F-FDG que muestra una captacion patologica a nivel periprotesico sugestiva de infeccion, asi como lesion incidental pulmonar sugestiva de neoplasia primaria. Una 18F-FDG PET/TC de control tras tratamiento antibiotico prolongado demostro una mejoria significativa en la captacion en el injerto vascular. La 18F-FDG es un trazador prometedor para detectar VPGI, ya que los leucocitos activados tienen una gran demanda de la 18F-FDG y se acumulan en el lugar de la infeccion, y podria ayudar a definir la respuesta al tratamiento antibiotico.
