Single-Center Experience With Protocolized Treatment of Left Ventricular Assist Device Infections

Single-Center Experience With Protocolized Treatment of Left Ventricular Assist Device Infections

PurposeBecause of the current lack of evidence-based antimicrobial treatment guidelines, Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) infections are often treated according to local insights. Here, we propose a flowchart for protocolized treatment, in order to improve outcome.MethodsThe flowchart was compo...
