Low Infection Rates in Jarvik 2000 LVAD. Are Post-Auricular Cable and Pump Configuration Playing a Positive Effect?
Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation(2012)
Abstract
Infection is a significant source of morbidity and mortality during long-term mechanical circulatory support (MCS). The intraventricular Jarvik 2000 LVAD shows reduced invasivity and secure post-auricular cable exit site. To investigate the impact of such design on infection rates, we reviewed the data of patient enrolled in the prospective Jarvik 2000 Italian Registry.
