Abstract

Infections in left ventricular assist device (LVAD) patients remain common. Differentiating into device related and non-device related infection is crucial. The incidence of non-device related infections seems to be more determined by the overall condition of the LVAD recipient. Device related infections can be treated by innovative surgical approaches or by transplant. Infection increases the risk of mortaility while on LVAD.
