technetium-tc-99m-sulfur-colloid and Staphylococcal-Infections

Two cases of scintigraphically detected asymptomatic graft anastomotic pseudoaneurysms are reported. Both patients previously underwent simultaneous renal and pancreatic transplantation. The role of imaging in the diagnosis of this relatively rare, but potentially lethal, vascular complication of pancreatic transplantation is discussed. This is the first report of anastomotic pseudoaneurysms in pancreatic transplants being diagnosed by scintigraphy.
