Drive line infections (DLI) are common infectious complications after left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) implantation. In case of severe or persistent infections, when conservative management fails, the exchange of the total LVAD may become necessary. We present a case of successful treatment of DL infection with a combination of antibiotics, debridement and local bacteriophage treatment.
驱动线感染(DLI)是左心室辅助装置(LVAD)植入术后常见的感染并发症。在严重或持续性感染的情况下,当保守治疗失败时,可能需要更换整个LVAD。我们报告一例通过联合使用抗生素、清创术和局部噬菌体治疗成功治疗DL感染的病例。
