The use of tunneled central venous catheters (CVCs) has grown exponentially in recent years. It has increased particularly for elderly patients, patients with severe heart failure, and patients on chronic hemodialysis. In such patients there is a great risk of infection. This led us to search for a new-generation antibiotic able to resolve infection rapidly and effectively. In our experience, administration of daptomycin resulted in rapid resolution of infection without the necessity of CVC removal or its replacement by another system.
