Abstract:Quantitation of [F] FDG uptake was found to have a high degree of accuracy in confirming the diagnosis of CIED infection. Normalization to HBP uptake was found to give the greatest AUC and demonstrated excellent reliability. Inconsistencies from published data indicate that individual imaging centers should only use published data for guidance.
“…The literature search identified a total of 2493 abstracts, and 13 studies met the entry criteria ( Figure 1); no additional eligible studies were identified from the reference lists of studies meeting the inclusion criteria. A total of 11 studies (331 patients, 340 examinations) [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] and 2 studies (71 patients, 76 examinations) 23,24 met the inclusion criteria for 18 F-FDG PET-CT and LS, respectively. There were no studies for 67 Ga citrate that met the criteria for inclusion.…”

“…Peer-reviewed studies investigating the accuracy of 18 F-FDG PET-CT, 67 Ga citrate scintigraphy, or LS for the diagnosis of CIED infection were included. Only studies where sufficient data were provided to calculate true positives, true negatives, false positives, and false negatives were considered.…”

“…All 11 studies were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled sensitivity of 18 F-FDG PET-CT for the diagnostic of CIED infection was 87% (95% CI, 82%-91%) and pooled specificity was 94% (95% CI, 88%-98%; Figure 2). The summary receiver operating characteristic curve analysis demonstrated good overall accuracy, with an AUC of 0.952 and a Q* of 0.89 ( Figure 3).…”

“…We sought to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to establish the accuracy of 18 F-FDG PET-CT, 67 Ga citrate scintigraphy, and LS for the diagnosis of CIED infection in adult patients.…”
Both F-FDG PET-CT and LS yield high sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy, and thus seem to be useful for the diagnosis of CIED infection, based on robust data forF-FDG PET-CT but limited data for LS. When available,F-FDG PET-CT may be preferred.

“…cardiac implantable electronic device lead infection may reflect a different inflammatory disease entity for which late image acquisition in fact appear to be more suitable. [3][4][5] As regards the quantification of the FDG uptake, maximal standard unit value (SUV max) and target-to-background ratio (TBR) between standard and late image acquisition unraveled a great variability in the individual measurements resulting in a wide overlap between both groups with PVE and non-PVE. 1 Such finding emphasizes that even uninfected PHVs may have a certain amount of sterile inflammation, reflecting post-surgical tissue response and/or a mild foreign body reaction depending on the post-interventional period.…”
