HELP LDL apheresis reduces plasma pentraxin 3 in familial hypercholesterolemia.
BackgroundPentraxin 3 (PTX3), a key component of the humoral arm of innate immunity, is secreted by vascular cells in response to injury, possibly aiming at tuning arterial activation associated with vascular damage.

Intraprocedural Hemodynamics During Concomitant Rheocarna Therapy and Maintenance Hemodialysis: Effects of Dialyzer Membrane Type and Circuit Sequence. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Chronic limb‐threatening ischemia (CLTI), a severe manifestation of peripheral artery disease, is particularly prevalent among patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis (HD) and is associated with poor limb and survival outcomes. Low‐density lipoprotein (LDL) apheresis, including Rheocarna, is used as adjunctive therapy for refractory CLTI ...

Effectiveness of a Novel Low-Density Lipoprotein Apheresis Device Rheocarna in Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis With Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia: A Single-Center Retrospective Study. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Chronic limb‐threatening ischemia (CLTI) is a severe form of lower‐extremity artery disease characterized by distal lesions and microcirculatory impairment, limiting revascularization efficacy. Rheocarna is a direct hemoperfusion low‐density lipoprotein (LDL) adsorption device with potential rheological and anti‐inflammatory ...

The scientific basis and future of lipoprotein apheresis [PDF]
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 ...
