FDG-PET/CT for the Detection of Infection Following Aortic Root Replacement Surgery.

Aortic root replacement (ARR) can be complicated by graft infection in 1% to 5% of cases, which is associated with 7% to 21% mortality ([1][1]). Although numerous studies have assessed the feasibility of fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) in vascular
