ABO-incompatible kidney transplantation: impact of apheresis on graft and patient survival in recipients with low isoagglutinin titer [PDF]
Transplant InternationalABO-incompatible (ABOi) kidney transplantation carries a high risk of acute antibody-mediated rejection due to the presence of isoagglutinins. To mitigate this risk, current protocols recommend performing apheresis before transplantation.

Assessment of the efficacy of large volume delayed sampling primary culture and pathogen reduction in preventing septic reactions from platelet transfusions [PDF]
Transfusion, Volume 66, Issue 9, Page 1846-1859, September 2026.Abstract Background Many mitigation processes have been introduced to reduce septic transfusion reactions (STRs) caused by the transfusion of bacterially contaminated PLTs. Methods The efficacy of primary culture and pathogen reduction is assessed in this review using data from long‐term hemovigilance programs in the US, Canada, UK, France, Switzerland,

The scientific basis and future of lipoprotein apheresis [PDF]
, 2021 Lipoprotein apheresis plays a vital role in the management of the severe hyperlipidemias that predispose to atherosclerosis. Determinants of efficacy are the acute reduction in lipoproteins achieved by each apheresis procedure, their frequency, and the ...
