Abstract
Infections in LVAD patients continue to be a major cause of morbidity and mortality. One needs to separate between early infections which are mostly driven by the general state of the patient before implant, and infections during long term support, mostly related to drive line issues. A diligent risk stratification before implant and close follow up after implant will help to reduce the incidence of infection.
