Low Driveline Infection Rates in Patients With a Novel Fully Magnetically Levitated Ventricular Assist Device
Patients treated with CH-VADs experienced an encouraging low rate of driveline infection, considered among the lowest reported for durable ventricular assist devices. These findings have implications for both clinical management and driveline design.
