Late driveline left ventricular assist device infection treated with frozen-and-thawed allogeneic platelet gel.
In this case report, we report the application of frozen-and-thawed allogeneic platelet gel (PLT-gel) to treat a late driveline exit site infection in a 56-year old patient supported by a Heartware-HVAD left ventricular assist device. The treatment duration was 4 weeks and at the follow-up the skin around the exit site was free from further infection. PLT-gel can be used to treat local infectio...

متن کاملLeft ventricular assist device driveline infection and the frequency of dressing change in hospitalized patients.
OBJECTIVES To determine if driveline infection is related to dressing change frequency in hospitalized adult patients with newly implanted left ventricular assist devices (LVAD). BACKGROUND Guidelines do not exist for the frequency of driveline exit-site dressing change in hospitalized patients resulting in wide variation in practice. METHODS A retrospective chart review was conducted on 68...
متن کاملDriveline Infection in Ventricular Assist Devices and Its Implication in the Present Era of Destination Therapy
Advances in mechanical circulatory support devices provided the technology to develop long-term, implantable left ventricular assist devices as bridge to transplant, destination therapy, and in a lesser group of patients, as bridge to recovery. Despite the benefits from this innovative therapy, with their increased use, many complications have been encountered, one of the most common being infe...
متن کاملVeraFlo Negative Pressure Wound Therapy with Household Bleach for Refractory Driveline Infection in a Patient with Left Ventricular Assist Device
Driveline infections and sepsis are amongst the most common causes of morbidity and mortality in a patient with a left ventricular assist device. In this case, we present a patient with a multi drug resistant pseudomonas aeruginosa driveline exit site infection. Initially, it was treated with dual antibiotics, followed by surgical debridement utilizing Dakin’s solution irrigation and standard n...
