Purpose
The study hypothesis is that F-18-FDG PET/CT and microcalorimetry might have a diagnostic value in the detection of permanent central venous catheters (PCVC) infection when conventional means of PCVC infection detection are non-conclusive.

Further study details as provided by John O. Prior, University of Lausanne Hospitals:
Primary Outcome Measures:
- Diagnostic value (sensitivity and sensibility, positive/negative predictive value) of F-18-FDG PET/CT imaging in the detection of CVCP infection [ Time Frame: 6 months ]To determine the clinical use of PET/CT in the detection of catheter infection by comparing PET/CT imaging results to standard means of catheter infection detection (i.e. clinical signs and hemoculture [positive or negative])
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Diagnostic value (sensitivity and sensibility, positive/negative predictive value) of microcalorimetry in the detection of CVCP infection [ Time Frame: 6 months ]To determine the clinical use of microcalorimetry in the detection of catheter infection by comparing microcalorimetry results to standard means of catheter infection detection (i.e. clinical signs and hemoculture [positive or negative])

| Groups/Cohorts |
|---|
|
Confirmed CVCP infection before removal
Patients with permanent central venous catheter infection confirmed by conventional method
|
|
Presumed CPVP infection before removal
Patients with probable permanent central venous catheter infection (standard methods for infection detection not conclusive)
|
|
Uninfected CVCP before removal
Patients with planned permanent central venous catheter removal (no infection)
|
Detailed Description:
Permanent central venous catheters are frequently infected and therefore need surgical removal. When a clear diagnostic for infection cannot be defined, catheter removal might be at risk for the patient, for the therapeutic follow-up and in terms of costs. PET/CT and microcalorimetry might help giving conclusive diagnostic of catheter infection.
