Short-term discontinuation of vagal nerve stimulation alters (18)F-FDG blood pool activity: an exploratory interventional study in epilepsy patients

BACKGROUND: Vagus nerve activation impacts inflammation. Therefore, we hypothesized that vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) influenced arterial wall inflammation as measured by (18)F-FDG uptake. RESULTS: Ten patients with left-sided VNS for refractory epilepsy were studied during stimulation (VNS-on) and...
