“…The infection characterized by the presence of heat, flushing, pain and edema can occur due to the type of wound, the health of the patient, lack of principles of asepsis and sequence in the development of healing. Such situations lead to the increase of risks to infection, jeopardizing the process of healing and recovery of the integrity of the skin of the patient, thus requiring longer hospitalization (15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)25,29,(33)(34)(35) .…”

Heart failure affects more than 5 million people in the United States. The treatments of this disease include medical therapy, heart transplantation, and the implantation of ventricular assist devices. These devices are used in patients who are no longer responsive to conservative medical treatment, who are not candidates for a heart transplantation (destination therapy), who are awaiting a heart transplantation (bridge to transplantation), and who have acute heart failure and whose myocardial function is expected to return to normal (bridge to recovery). Although this therapy improves the mortality and quality of life among patients with heart failure, the devices also carry risk of multiple complications. This article discusses the acute and long-term complications of ventricular assist devices.

“…In cases of minimal trauma spontaneous healing is possible by first intention. Healing by first intention is also possible when a clean incision is made by a scalpel or surgical scissors, but with this more extensive trauma sutures are frequently used to promote healing by holding the wound edges together (Vuolo 2006…”
