Abstract

Collection of HPC by apheresis requires adequate venous access for inflow and for outflow. The use of midline has never been reported in this setting. We prospectively analyzed the use of midline for performing apheresis on 3 healthy donors and 3 adults patients requiring autologous transplantation. A total of 8 polyurethane midlines, with an external diameter of 5 French, was inserted (2 midlines in both arms in 2 healthy donors) by our PICC team the day before apheresis and removed at the end of target collection. Mean flow rate was 35 ml/min. Target cellular dose was reached in all patients / donors with a maximum of 2 procedures without any complications. Midline is effective and safe for HPC collection either in donors or patients avoiding the placement of a central venous catheter.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.
