Abstract
Recurrent driveline infection is the most common readmission diagnosis for patients after being implanted with an LVAD. The literature shows that readmission on post LVAD implantation on average costs $35,000. Our review of literature shows that education and lifestyle changes can decrease the chance of readmission. The literature shows that certain implantation techniques can contribute to decreasing driveline infection.
