  • Purpose: To assess if aortic 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake on positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) could play a role in predicting complications after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). Materials and Methods: This study involved 2 cohorts of men with abdominal aortic aneurysm treated by EVAR: those who underwent a PET/CT scan before EVAR (n=17) and those who had a PET/CT during follow-up (n=34). Uptake of FDG was measured as the standardized uptake value (SUV). D-dimer, a marker of fibrinolysis, was measured in blood drawn concomitantly with the PET/CT. Results: A significant uptake of FDG in the aneurysm wall was detected by PET/CT before EVAR in 6 of 17 patients. During the first year after EVAR, type II endoleaks developed in 5 of these FDG+ patients vs 3 of 11 FDG– patients (p=0.04). Two of the FDG+ patients had continued sac growth and required conversion to open repair. A significant association between sac growth rate, SUV, and the presence of endoleak was found in the 34 patients who underwent PET/CT after EVAR. Finally, D-dimer was significantly increased in patients with both endoleak and positive PET/CT in the post-EVAR group. Conclusion: This study suggests that the presence of FDG uptake in the aortic wall might be a useful tool to predict patients at high risk of developing post-EVAR complications.
