Abstract
Most DLIs begin superficially with peak hazard at 7.5 months after implant. Depth of infection and infecting organism may evolve over months on support, with Pseudomonas becoming more prominent. Although effectively managed for prolonged periods, DLIs are associated with reduced survival on VAD support. Earlier transplantation is the most successful approach to treatment.
