Abstract

Drive line infections (DLI) are common infectious complications after left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) implantation. In case of severe or persistent infections, when conservative management fails, the exchange of the total LVAD may become necessary. We present a case of successful treatment of DL infection with a combination of antibiotics, debridement and local bacteriophage treatment.
