Contribution of PET scanning to the evaluation of abdominal aortic aneurysm.

abstract：:Aortic infection is an uncommon but life-threatening condition. Conservative medical treatment is insufficient in many cases because of the high risk of persistent infection, aortic rupture, and death. Conventional open surgical treatment consists of extensive tissue debridement, complete removal of the infected prost...
