Does 111indium-platelet deposition predict patency in prosthetic arterial grafts?
The relationship between the rate of 111In-platelet deposition on vascular grafts and subsequent thrombosis has been examined in patients undergoing femoropopliteal by-pass. Sixty-seven patients undergoing femoropopliteal by-pass using vein, Dacron or PTFE were randomized to aspirin plus dipyridamole (ASA/DPM) or placebo. Autologous 111In-platelets were injected in the second postoperative week and Thrombogenicity Index (TI) calculated as the mean daily rise in the ratio of radioactivity graft/contralateral thigh. Graft patency was assessed to 1 year. Mean (+s.e.m.) TI at 1 week in 21 grafts that occluded within 12 months was 0.19 +/- 0.018 compared with 0.07 +/- 0.009 in the 38 that remained patient (P less than 0.001). Grafts with a TI less or greater than the median had a 90 per cent or 39 per cent cumulative 1-year patency, respectively (P less than 0.001). In the prosthetic grafts ASA/DPM reduced mean TI from 0.17 +/- 0.02 to 0.11 +/- 0.01 (P less than 0.02) and enhanced 1-year patency from 36 to 67 per cent (P less than 0.05). Following femoropopliteal by-pass TI related to subsequent graft patency. Radiolabelled platelet deposition therefore provides a guide as to how new materials or antithrombotic drugs may influence clinical graft thrombosis. Platelet inhibition reduced both graft thrombogenicity and subsequent occlusion.

In vivo evaluation of timing, degree, and distribution of bacterial translocation following experimental small bowel transplantation.
These studies were designed to evaluate the correlation between morphologic and functional changes after heterotopic auxiliary small bowel isograft with systemic venous drainage and two ostomies in 20 Lewis rats. Morphologic damage of the graft was scored by full-thickness biopsies before surgery and 1, 3, 5, and 7 days after transplant. Functional evaluation of the graft was done, at the same time points, by urinary excretion of lactulose and mannitol injected in the proximal ostomy. The intestinal permeability was also studied by injecting Escherichia coli labeled with indium-111 oxine in the proximal ostomy. Translocation of radiolabeled bacteria was quantitated in extraintestinal tissues by radionuclide counts and number of viable organisms and in vivo by scintigraphic imaging. One day after transplant, significant graft damage (score 17.2 +/- 4.2) was observed when compared with the pretransplant value (7.3 +/- 2.6). The degree of tissue injury was similar on days 3 (15.8 +/- 3.5) and 5 (16.1 +/- 3.9) after transplant and remained high on day 7 (11.8 +/- 2.8). The lactulose to mannitol ratio showed a significantly increased permeability on day 1 (17.5) versus pretransplant values (2.6), remained high on day 3 (8.6), and returned to normal values on day 5 (2.8). Translocation of bacteria to distant organs, as measured by both radionuclide counts and number of viable organisms, was strikingly enhanced on day 1 after transplantation, compared with control animals, but returned to the pretransplant value on day 3. A good qualitative and quantitative correlation was observed between radionuclide counts in the extraintestinal organs and in vivo images obtained by scintigraphic scanning. In conclusion, in this model, timing and degree of bacterial translocation do not seem to correlate well, with the exception of the acute post-transplantation phase, with morphologic and permeability changes of the graft. Evaluation of translocation by scintigraphic imaging appears a suitable approach to study in vivo the kinetics and distribution of this process.

[A case report of a thrombosed mitral prosthesis diagnosed by 111In-oxine platelets scintigraphy].
The purpose of this report was to evaluate the efficacy of 111In-oxine labeled platelets scintigraphy for detection of thrombus in the prosthetic valve. A 50-year-old man underwent re-mitral valve replacement with a Björk-Shiley prosthesis because of malfunction of the xenograft in a previous operation. Almost one year later, this patient suffered from peripheral embolism and sight disturbance. There was no evidence of a thrombosed valve although it was suspected. Cineradiography showed the valve almost fully open, and there were no abnormal sounds when the valve closed. 111In-oxine labeled platelets scintigraphy was performed for the detection of thrombus in the mitral position. Hot areas of high quality in the scintigram were demonstrated in the mitral position. As a result, Björk-Shiley prosthesis was replaced with a Duromedics prosthesis. A small thrombus (10mm) surrounded by fresh tiny thrombi was found in a minor orifice of the Björk-Shiley prosthesis.

Failure of peripheral arterial balloon angioplasty: does platelet deposition play a role?
The pathophysiological response to peripheral percutaneous transluminal balloon angioplasty in 20 patients was investigated using 111-Indium labelled platelets. Platelet deposition was quantified by measuring the degree of radioactivity uptake at angioplasty and control sites using a computer linked system and expressing the uptake as a ratio of angioplasty/control. Following platelet labelling, scans were performed before angioplasty and at 1, 24 and 48 h after angioplasty. To assess patency of the angioplasty, ankle brachial Doppler pressure indices were performed and supported by repeat angiograms if doubt of patency existed. All patients were followed-up at 1 week, 1 month and 6 months to correlate the degree of early platelet uptake with failure. The mean +/- sem platelet radioactivity ratio at the angioplasty site increased from 1.1 +/- 0.1 prior to the procedure to a peak of 2.1 +/- 0.3 at 1 h (p less than 0.01), 1.6 +/- 0.2 at 24 h (p less than 0.05), and 1.7 +/- 0.3 at 48 h (p less than 0.05). Angioplasties that failed within 6 months tended to have a higher maximum early platelet uptake (3.1 +/- 0.6) compared to successful angioplasties (1.9 +/- 0.3) but the difference was not significant in the numbers studied. This study provides a suitable model to assess the role of platelet accumulation in angioplasty failure and the influence of various antiplatelet regimes.

The 111In-granulocyte scan in prosthetic vascular graft infections: imaging technique and results.
Fourteen patients were examined between 3 weeks and 11 years after implantation of an aortobifemoral vascular graft with 111In labelled leukocytes isolated with discontinuous gradient centrifugation. The camera acquisition was performed with a three phase technique (acquisitions at 30 min, 4 h and 24 h p.i.). The presence and extent of a graft or perigraft infection including complicating fistulas could be correctly diagnosed in six of eight patients with surgically proven infections. Leukocyte uptake index was calculated as 1.77 +/- 0.4 (30 min p.i.) and 2.4 +/- 0.7 (24 h p.i.). All infections could be diagnosed by 30 min p.i., fistulas only could be seen 24 h p.i. In two of eight patients, false positive results were observed. These patients suffered from suspected perigraft hematomas and noninfected aortic graft aneurysms. Both had a negative 30 min scan and a slight uptake in the late scans comparable to bone marrow activity. Six patients with fever of unknown origin showed true negative scans. There were no false negative scans. We conclude that only the leukocyte scan can diagnose the presence and the extent, including fistulas, of vascular graft infections. The three phase technique is recommended to localize the blood pool in the 30 min scan and to diagnose complications 24 h p.i. In cases of a negative 30 min scan and positive 4 h and 24 h scans, false positive results should be suspected. All infections have a leukocyte uptake index higher than 1.2.

The complementary role of indium-111 labeled leukocyte imaging, ultrasonography and computed tomography in the evaluation of postoperative infection or abscess.
We report our experiences with the combined use of indium-111 labeled leukocyte imaging (In-III WBC scan.), computed tomography (CT) and ultrasonography (US) for evaluation of suspected postoperative infection or abscess, and discuss the complementary roles of these modalities. Postoperative abscesses or infections were diagnosed in 9 of 20 patients. All patients were correctly diagnosed by In-111 WBC imaging and 4 patients could not be diagnosed by US because of bowel gas. One false-positive CT examination and another artifact on CT images due to respiratory movements were obtained. The three modalities were found to be complementary: CT and US were efficient imaging methods for diagnosis and treatment of abscess. In-111 WBC imaging could estimate the activity of inflammation.

111-Indium platelets in monitoring pancreatic allografts in man.
A technique for monitoring pancreatic allografts in man is presented. The method utilizes 111-indium labelled autologous platelets and provides quantitative and qualitative analysis of uptake of the tracer by the graft. Five patients without any significant accumulation of radiolabelled platelets in their transplants had an uneventful recovery and left hospital with satisfactory graft function. The three patients who suffered graft failure showed abnormal uptake of the tracer. This presented as a diffuse platelet accumulation within the transplanted pancreas in the case of acute rejection, or as a focal accumulation in two cases of venous thrombosis. Minor complications such as perigraft haematoma can also be diagnosed using this technique. We suggest that 111-indium labelled platelets provide a valuable diagnostic aid in the management of pancreatic transplant recipients.

Indium 111 platelet imaging for the detection of deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism in patients without symptoms after surgery.
Indium 111 platelet imaging for the detection of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary emboli was performed in 171 patients after abdominal and pelvic surgery. Fifteen patients were found to have inadequate circulating blood pools of indium 111 platelets, making the study nondiagnostic. Of 156 patients with technically satisfactory images, 46 (29.5%) had images consistent with deep venous thrombosis and/or pulmonary emboli. The incidence, time of occurrence, and location of thromboemboli was similar to those of other reports of postoperative patients groups studied by iodine 125 fibrinogen uptake testing. Eighty patients had normal indium 111 platelets and 30 patients had diffusely distributed indium 111 platelets found in the operative field, suggesting accumulation in a postoperative hematoma. None of these results was confused with a diagnosis of deep venous thrombosis. When compared with another accurate diagnostic test in 23 patients, indium 111 platelet imaging was found to have a sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 90%. The technique of indium 111 platelet imaging is performed easily in patients after surgery with some limitations as to the use of donor platelets and the occasionally altered imaging of the operative site. This diagnostic technique enjoys the distinct advantage in that it allows surveillance of the legs, pelvis, abdomen, and chest by a single method, making it a near-ideal method of postoperative thromboembolism surveillance.

Scintigraphic evaluation of the painful prosthetic joint: a comparison of gallium-67 citrate and indium-111 labelled leucocyte imaging.
The radiopharmaceuticals gallium-67 and indium-111 labelled leucocytes have been compared in 15 patients with a painful joint prosthesis in an attempt to identify those patients with periprosthetic infection. Gallium-67 images were abnormal in five out of six patients with periprosthetic infection and normal in seven out of nine without evidence of infection. Indium-111 leucocyte images were abnormal in three out of six patients with infection and normal in all nine patients without infection. Indium-111 labelled leucocyte imaging is technically more difficult to perform than gallium-67 imaging. This, combined with the higher sensitivity of gallium-67 imaging for infection around a prosthetic joint, leads us to conclude that gallium-67 imaging is superior to indium-111 leucocyte imaging in identifying infection as a cause of a painful prosthetic joint.

Diagnosis of arterial prosthetic graft infection by indium-111 oxine white blood cell scans.
Early and accurate diagnosis of infected prosthetic arterial grafts is difficult, despite the application of diverse diagnostic modalities. Delay in making the diagnosis is largely responsible for the high amputation and mortality rates associated with this complication. In nine patients with suspected graft infections, indium-111 white blood cell scanning was useful and accurate. Graft infection was proved in five cases and ruled out in three. One false-positive scan was due to a sigmoid diverticular abscess overlying the graft. Indium-111 white blood cell scans may improve the accuracy of diagnosing infected prosthetic grafts, which may result in better limb and patient salvage rates.
