Driveline infections (DLI) are common adverse events in left ventricular assist devices (LVADs), leading to severe complications and readmissions. The study aims to characterize risk factors for DLI readmission 2 years postimplant. This single‐center study included 183 LVAD patients (43 HeartMate II HMII, 29 HeartMate 3 HM3, 111 HVAD) following hospital discharge between 2013 and 2017. Demographics, clinical parameters, and outcomes were retrospectively analyzed and 12.6% of patients were readmitted for DLI, 14.8% experienced DLI but were treated in the outpatient setting, and 72.7% had no DLI. Mean C‐reactive protein (CRP), leukocytes and fibrinogen were higher in patients with DLI readmission (P < .02) than in outpatient DLI and patients without DLI, as early as 60 days before readmission. Freedom from DLI readmission was comparable for HMII and HVAD (98% vs. 87%; HR, 4.52; 95% CI, 0.58‐35.02; P = .15) but significantly lower for HM3 (72%; HR, 10.82; 95% CI, 1.26‐92.68; P = .03). DLI (HR, 1.001; 95% CI, 0.999‐1.002; P = .16) or device type had no effect on mortality. DLI readmission remains a serious problem following LVAD implantation, where CRP, leukocytes, and fibrinogen might serve as risk factors already 60 days before. HM3 patients had a higher risk for DLI readmissions compared to HVAD or HMII, possibly because of device‐specific driveline differences. Graphical presentation of the methods, results and implications of this study.
