Abstract
Mortality rates for VAD patients with SAB were comparable to SAB without VAD. No hematogenous disssemination or persistent infections were recorded, which might be associated with the prompt and aggressive antibiotic and surgical management in VAD patients. SAB per se does not preclude successful transplantation.
