&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;== Background ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Includes left ventricular assist device (LVAD) infections&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Microbiology ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Coagulase-negative staphylococci]]&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Staphylococcus aureus]]&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Enterococcus species]]&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Enterobacteriaceae]] and [[Pseudomonas aeruginosa]]&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Candida species]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Risk Factors ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Diabetes mellitus]]&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Obesity]]&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Chronic kidney disease]]&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Depression]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Driveline trauma&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Clinical Manifestations ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Driveline site infection is the most common with or without other sites of infection, including pocket infection, [[mediastinitis]], pump or cannula infection, [[endocarditis]], and [[bacteremia]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Driveline site infection will have local signs and symptoms of infection&lt;br /&gt;
* Pocket infection will present similarly to [[CIED infection|CIED pocket infection]]&lt;br /&gt;
* Mediastinitis has fever, chest pain, sternal wound dehiscence or drainage, leukocytosis, and bacteremia&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Investigations ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Blood cultures&lt;br /&gt;
* Aspirate and culture of any fluid collections&lt;br /&gt;
* Ultrasound, CT, or MRI of the chest and abdomen should be considered with bacteremia of unknown source&lt;br /&gt;
* Cultures from any removed hardware&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Management ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Control control, ideally, with removal of the infected device&lt;br /&gt;
* If source control is not possible (which is common), then prolonged antibiotics to suppress infection until heart transplant&lt;br /&gt;
