Instillation Negative Pressure Wound Therapy: A Role for Infected LVAD Salvage.

Abstract:

:Objective: To determine the utility of instillation negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) in achieving eradication of infection and definitive wound closure in patients with infected left ventricular assist device (LVAD). Approach: A retrospective review was performed in a series of patients with infected and exposed LVADs who were treated with instillation NPWT in conjunction with surgical debridement. Results: Three consecutive patients were included who developed periprosthetic infection subsequent to LVAD implantation. In all cases, the utilization of a vacuum-assisted closure with instillation (VACi) along with surgical debridement and IV antibiotics eradicated infection resulting in successful retention of hardware. Cases 1 and 2 received definitive wound closure within 3 and 12 days of starting treatment, respectively. Case 3 initially deferred surgery in favor of local wound care. Eventually the patient elected for surgical treatment and underwent closure 164 days after initial presentation. All three patients healed completely without residual evidence of infection. Flap reconstruction with a pedicled rectus flap was used to achieve definitive closure in all patients. One patient subsequently required pump replacement secondary to thrombosis and mechanical pump failure. Innovation: LVAD infections are met with high morbidity and mortality rates, and timely salvage is critical. In this initial series, VACi has proven a viable therapy option to help control and eradicate infection without LVAD removal. Conclusion: This series illustrates the value of newer techniques such as VACi in combination with surgical debridement and antibiotic therapy in effectively salvaging LVADs that were infected.
