Abstract

Infection during left ventricular assist device (LVAD) support is associated with a high mortality. This study investigated the effect of bloodstream infection on survival of patients with LVAD support and assessed risk factors for survival in LVAD patients with bloodstream infection. Between 1999 and 2010, 109 consecutive patients with end-stage heart failure were supported by an LVAD as a bridge to transplantation. Overall survival was compared between those with and without a bloodstream infection. Risk factors for survival of patients with bloodstream infection were analyzed. A bloodstream infection developed in 65 patients (60%) during 584 ± 389 days of LVAD support. Compared with patients without a bloodstream infection, overall survival was significantly worse in those with bloodstream infection (68% vs 84% at 2 years after LVAD implantation, p = 0.0117). However, of 22 patients bridged to transplantation, none had bloodstream infection recurrence after transplantation, and their 3-year survival rate after transplantation was 100%. Cox multivariate analysis (hazard ratio [95% confidence interval]) identified postoperative right ventricular failure (2.890 [1.238 to 6.757]; p = 0.0141) and bloodstream infection caused by a...Continue Reading
