Nasal colonization with Staphylococcus aureus is a risk factor for ventricular assist device infection in the first year after implantation: a prospective, single-centre, cohort study
The prevalence of heart failure is rising1, 2 thus constantly widening the gap between donor hearts and patients listed for transplantation3. For an increasing number of patients with advanced heart failure, durable ventricular assist devices (VAD) prolong survival and improve quality of life4 by serving as bridge to transplant, or, for those not eligible for heart transplantation, as destination therapy, i.e. as a life-long support4, 5. Their long-term use, however, is hampered by stroke, bleeding, and infection.
