Short-Term Femoral Catheter Insertion: A Promising Alternative to Consistently Allow Long-Term Erythrocytapheresis Therapy in Children with Sickle Cell Anemia

Short-Term Femoral Catheter Insertion: A Promising Alternative to Consistently Allow Long-Term Erythrocytapheresis Therapy in Children with Sickle Cell Anemia

Erythrocytapheresis procedures, increasingly used in the management of patients with severe complications of sickle cell disease, are limited by adequate venous access. We have successfully used short-term femoral catheter insertion, during a 6.5-year period for a total of 443 procedures, to perform...

Zusammenfassung:Erythrocytapheresis procedures, increasingly used in the management of patients with severe complications of sickle cell disease, are limited by adequate venous access. We have successfully used short-term femoral catheter insertion, during a 6.5-year period for a total of 443 procedures, to perform long-term erythrocytapheresis in 18 consecutive children with sickle cell disease.
