^(18)F-FDG PET/CT在左心室辅助装置植入术后感染诊断中的临床应用进展

Clinical application progress of ^(18)F-FDG PET/CT in the diagnosis of infection after left ventricular assist device implantation

左心室辅助装置(LVAD)植入术是治疗终末期心力衰竭患者重要且有效的手段,感染是其最常见的并发症,诊断延误或评估不足将导致生存预后降低等严重后果。近年来,^(18)F-氟脱氧葡萄糖(FDG)PET/CT在LVAD植入术后感染诊断的定性、定位、分型、程度评估、治疗指导和预后预测方面发挥着独特且重要的临床作用。笔者对^(18)F-FDG PET/CT在LVAD植入术后感染中的临床应用进展进行综述。

Left ventricular assist device(LVAD)implantation is an important and effective method for the treatment of patients with end-stage heart failure.Infection is the most common complication.Delayed diagnosis or inadequate evaluation will lead to reduced survival and other serious consequences.In recent years,^(18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose(FDG)PET/CT plays an unique and important clinical effect in the diagnosis,location,classification,degree evaluation,treatment guidance and prognosis prediction of infection after LVAD implantation.The paper reviews the progress of clinical application of ^(18)F-FDG PET/CT in infection after LVAD implantation.
