Driveline infection (DLI) is common after left ventricular assist device (LVAD). Limited data
exist on DLI prevention and management. We investigated the impact of standardized …

Abstract Introduction Drive line infections (DLIs) are common complications of left ventricular
assist devices (LVADs). Data on use of suppression antibiotic therapy are limited. Methods …

BACKGROUND: Infection is one of the major limitations to successful long-term support after
ventricular assist device implantation. There are limited data specifically examining the …

Driveline infections (DLI) are common adverse events in left ventricular assist devices
(LVADs), leading to severe complications and readmissions. The study aims to characterize …

(LVAD) infectious complication. Short‐term antimicrobial therapy and local debridement are …

Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) have revolutionized the treatment of advanced heart
failure, but infection remains a substantial risk. LVAD driveline infections (DLIs) are the most …

Background Driveline infection (DLI) is a cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with
continuous-flow left ventricular assist devices (CF-LVADs). We hypothesized that an …
