Abstract :
We present 2 cases of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium mediastinitis associated with left ventricular assist devices in the setting of heart transplantation. Despite complicated operative courses and deep infection secondary to antimicrobial resistant organisms, both patients were successfully treated and have remained infection free in the long term.
