Abstract
Even though better clinical outcomes have been achieved with the newer generation continuous-flow devices, infection complications-in particular sepsis-are still a major risk for patients with continuous-flow LVAD implantation. Prevention strategies with aggressive medical and surgical management of infections may increase survival and decrease morbidity among continuous-flow LVAD patients.
