Abstract:
Driveline and cannula site infections are still a frequent adverse event in patients with a ventricular assist device (VAD), and it is important to treat and prevent them because the spread of local infection may cause sepsis in some cases. We report our experience with a patient in whom infection of the NIPRO LVAD cannula site after implantation of an extracorporeal VAD was controlled by treatment with crystal violet Solbase (Nihon University crystal violet method).
