Abstract

Deep driveline infection is a serious complication after left ventricular assist device implantation. Current treatment strategies are associated with significant morbidity related to healing or relocation of the driveline tract. We present a case of deep driveline infection successfully treated with a vacuum-assisted closure system as a potentially improved alternative therapy.

摘要

深部驱动线感染是左心室辅助装置植入术后的一种严重并发症。目前的治疗策略与驱动线通道愈合或重新定位相关的显著发病率有关。我们报告一例深部驱动线感染病例，该病例通过真空辅助封闭系统成功治疗，这是一种可能改进的替代疗法。
