Once a driveline exit-site infection reaches the LVAD component, radical treatment such as LVAD exchange may become necessary, although the clinical results are unsatisfactory. The Jarvik 2000 device, which utilizes a postauricular cable, allows the driveline to exit the body behind the ear (postauricular) instead of through an abdominal site. Here, we report the case of a patient who had awaited heart transplantation for more than 6 years and had a critical driveline infection that almost reached the LVAD pump. The patient underwent a pump exchange using the Jarvik 2000 with a postauricular cable, with excellent results. It is a useful replacement option for patients with abdominal drive -line infections, owing to its small pump pocket and the availability of an alternative pathway for the driveline.}, pages = {389--393}, title = {Pump Exchange from a Left Ventricular Assist Device to a Jarvik 2000 with a Postauricular Cable Due to Abdominal Driveline Infection}, volume = {66}, year = {2023}, yomi = {キシモト,ユウイチロウ and ヨシカワ,ヤスシ and ニシムラ,モトノブ} }
