Nutritional status and cannula infections in pediatric patients on ventricular assist device support

Background Ventricular assist devices (VADs) are used to bridge pediatric patients to heart transplantation. Paracorporeal VADs require the placement of cannulas, which can create an environment for infections. We examined cannula infections in pediatric VAD patients and the role of nutritional stat...
