Abstract
Scintigraphy with In-111 labeled autologous leukocytes is an accurate noninvasive method of assessing the presence and extent of aortoarterial prosthesis. In 3 cases of aorto-arterial bypass graft infections, the leukocyte study successfully established the diagnosis and assessed the extent of infection. Other noninvasive diagnostic techniques are useful, but all have serious limitations. The leukocyte study alone appears to be free of likely sources of error.
