Clinical Trial Summary

Infectious endocarditis is a serious pathology with difficult diagnosis especially on prosthetic valves or cardiac device because of the plurality of clinical presentations and the low sensitivity value of echocardiography in these patients. Despite a well validated indication for the detection of septic emboli, the value of FDG-PET for the detection of prosthetic valves or cardiac implantable device is still unclear especially because of frequent non-septic inflammatory processes.

To improve the specificity value, the use of radio-labeled leukocytes scintigraphy is conventionally proposed. An alternative method is to label leukocytes in vivo with an anti-murin anti body fragment ( Sulesomab , Leukoscan®). This scintigraphy is regularly used in the investigation of osteomyelitis and has been proposed in infectious endocarditis. To knowledge of investigators, the value of Leukoscan® scintigraphy on prosthetic valve or cardiac device infection had not been studied.
