摘要：

Infection is one of the most important challenges to the use of implanted mechanical circulatory support systems (MCSS), particularly as we enter the era of permanent device use in patients who are not candidates for cardiac transplantation. This paper describes the pathogenesis of MCSS infection, with particular attention to the role of biofilm-forming bacteria. Suggestions are presented for the prevention and treatment of infections in implanted MCSS. (C) 2003 by The Society of Thoracic Surgeons.
