“…The CT scan was useful in the diagnosis of an abscess in the thrombotic AAA as it showed air in the AAA. Computed tomography has detected a perigraft abscess after an aortoiliac bypass as demonstrated by Haaga et al 10 Visceral ischemia developed in one of our patients. This patient had ischémie colitis and thrombosis of the left renal artery with a hemorrhagic infarct of the left kidney.…”

“…3,14 CT utility for graft infection has also been demonstrated previously. 3,7,20 CT is also able to detect other complications of vascular surgery such as retroperitoneal haematomas, aortoduodenal fistula, pseudoaneurism, vascular thrombosis, intestinal infarction, and postsurgical pancreatitis. 21,22 We have found no discrepancies between CT and Ga-67 scan, but our experience is limited.…”

“…This has facilitated the diagnosis of infectious cornplications, especially in the retropenitoneum [6,7]. On the basis of signs such as penignaft soft tissue, fluid or gas, anastomotic pseudoaneumysm, and graft occlusion, CT has been reported to be 1 00% sensitive in demonstrating graft infection [3][4][5][6][7][8].…”
