  1. 1. Aortic valve imaging - Towards new standards in prosthetic valve endocarditis

    Författare :Erika Fagman; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; prosthetic valve endocarditis; aortic valve endocarditis; ECG-gated CT; cardiac CT; 18F-FDG PET CT;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Aortic prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) is a disease with high mortality, and diagnosis is difficult. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has been the mainstay imaging modality in the diagnostic workup, but TEE has diagnostic shortcomings. Thus, new imaging methods might improve the diagnostic workup of PVE. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Prosthetic aortic heart valves

    Författare :Natalie Glaser; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Aortic valve replacement (AVR) can be performed with different types of valve prostheses. There is no perfect aortic valve prosthesis, and the prosthetic choice for each patient requires careful consideration. This thesis evaluates mortality, morbidity, and prosthetic valve function after AVR with different aortic valve prostheses. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Adherence of Staphylococcus aureus in experimental endocarditis and osteomyelitis

    Författare :Stefan A Hienz; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Staphylococcus aureus has persisted and is now resurging as an important hospital and community pathogen. The microorganism can cause a wide spectrum of diseases ranging from cutaneous infections to more specific infections such as osteomyelitis and infective endocarditis (IE). Infections of bone, or osteomyelitis, remain a clinical challenge. LÄS MER
