This week we review 2 works on pediatric ventricular assist devices and the most common adverse event associated with their use - specifically, infections. Dr. Scott Auerbach, medical director of the ventricular assist device program at Denver Children's Hospital and Associate Professor of Pediatrics at The University of Colorado will discuss the findings of the PEDIMACS registry data as well as share some new, hot off the presses information regarding outcomes of pediatric patients with infections who then undergo transplantation. His insights into this data set are deep and we are lucky to have him speak about this important multicenter work.
