The objective of this study is to determine if early parametric positron emission computed tomography is useful to diagnose cardiac prosthetic valve infections.
Age superior to18 years,
Effective contraception for women of childbearing age or negative pregnancy test on the day of the exam
Good general condition. WHO ≤ 1
Suspicion of endocarditis on a prosthetic heart valve implanted more than 3 months ago
Presence of an active cancer in the previous three years
Pregnancy or breastfeeding
Poorly controlled diabetic patients
Protected adults (under guardians or curators)
Single group
Parametric positron emission computed tomography
DevicePatients will undergo parametric positron emission computed tomography in 15 days after the labeled polynuclear scintigraphy
Determination of diagnostic value of parametric positron emission computed tomography
area under the curve of the Ki parameter (and the Vd parameter) as a function of the presence of endocarditis diagnosed during the multidisciplinary consultation meeting at 3 months
Correlation between parametric positron emission computed tomography and scintigraphy with labelled leukocytes
comparison between diagnosis established by parametric positron emission computed tomography and scintigraphy with labelled leukocytes
