CT scanning to diagnose CAA: back to the future?
Most intracerebral haemorrhages are due to cerebral small vessel diseases hypertensive arteriopathy (arteriolosclerosis), which affects deep perforating vessels, and cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA), which affects superficial cortical and leptomeningeal vessels. Diagnosis of CAA is important because it has a high recurrence risk (7·4% per year in a pooled analysis of cohort studies) and might ...
متن کاملAbdominal Aortic Graft Infection
Despite the advances in operative techniques and perioperative management of patients suffering from abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) or occlusive aorto-iliac disease, there are many early and late complications related to aortic graft insertion, either in open or endovascular approach, that every vascular surgeon should bear in mind. One of the most dreaded complication is the infection of pr...
متن کاملAortic Graft Infection: Graphene Shows the Way to an Infection-Resistant Vascular Graft
Aortic graft infection is a potentially lethal complication of open and endovascular repair of aortic aneurysms. Graphene is the only existing two-dimensional material, and its unique structure gives graphene and its derivatives a plethora of original characteristics. Among other characteristics, graphene demonstrates bacteriostatic and bactericidal effects that could potentially resolve the pr...
متن کامل18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography/CT Scanning in Diagnosing Vascular Prosthetic Graft Infection
Vascular prosthetic graft infection (VPGI) is a severe complication after vascular surgery. CT-scan is considered the diagnostic tool of choice in advanced VPGI. The incidence of a false-negative result using CT is relatively high, especially in the presence of low-grade infections. (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography ((18)F-FDG PET) scanning has been suggested as an alternati...
