DOI: 10.1007/s00259-018-4069-1
Abstract: Purpose18F-FDG PET/CT (PET/CT) is a useful tool for the diagnosis of aortic graft infection (AGI), but has rarely been used to influence therapeutic decisions during follow-up. We aimed to study the role of PET/CT in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.avsg.2021.04.047
Abstract: BACKGROUND Aortic graft infection(AGI) is a rare but devastating complication requiring both explant of the infected prosthesis and lower extremity revascularization. Despite a variety of methods to treat AGI, there is a paucity of evidence… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jvs.2019.08.274
Abstract: OBJECTIVE Mycotic aortic aneurysms and aortic graft infections (aortic infections [AIs]) are rare but highly morbid conditions. Open surgical repair is the "gold standard" treatment, but endovascular repair (EVR) is increasingly being used in the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/1538574419879570
Abstract: Aortic graft infections are uncommon complications after endovascular aortic surgery. In the majority of cases, gram-positive and then gram-negative organisms are the causative agents leading to this condition. Atypical organisms are traditionally not responsible for… read more here.
