| Abstrakt: | Patients on mechanical circulatory support are at heightened risk for infection given the invasive nature of the devices with internal and external components, the surgical implantation of the devices, and the presence of foreign material susceptible to biofilm formation. This review discusses the new International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation mechanical circulatory support device infection definitions, inclusive of durable and acute mechanical circulatory support infections, and describes their epidemiology, diagnosis, and management. A multidisciplinary approach is essential for optimal management. Timing of transplantation in the context of active infection is addressed, and areas of future research are highlighted.
