Integration of (18)F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography in Diagnostic Algorithm of Prosthetic Valve Endocarditis: A Case Report and Review of Literature

Prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) is a sinister complication, with high morbidity and mortality. Diagnosis is conventionally based on modified Duke Criteria. 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose ((18)F-FDG) positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) has shown high accuracy in diagnosing PVE. Posi...

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