Anti-infective characteristics of a new Carbothane ventricular assist device driveline
Objectives: Driveline infections are a major complication of ventricular assist device (VAD) therapy. A newly introduced Carbothane driveline has preliminarily demonstrated anti-infective potential against driveline infections. This study aimed to comprehensively assess the anti-biofilm capability o...
