HELP LDL apheresis reduces plasma pentraxin 3 in familial hypercholesterolemia.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
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.

LDL-apheresis depletes apoE-HDL and pre-β1-HDL in familial hypercholesterolemia: relevance to atheroprotection

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2011
Subnormal HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) and apolipoprotein (apo)AI levels are characteristic of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), reflecting perturbed intravascular metabolism with compositional anomalies in HDL particles, including apoE enrichment. Does LDL-

Impact of LDL apheresis on atheroprotective reverse cholesterol transport pathway in familial hypercholesterolemia

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2012
In familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), low HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) levels are associated with functional alterations of HDL particles that reduce their capacity to mediate the reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) pathway.

Platelet aggregation and lipoprotein levels in a patient with familial hypercholescholesterolemia after selective LDL-apheresis

open access: yesSão Paulo Medical Journal
Platelet aggregation was studied in a patient with familial hypercholesterolemia immediately after aphereis selective for low-density lipoprotein (LDL), a lipid-lowering procedure.This treatment reduced plasmatic levels of total and LDL-cholesterol, apo ...

Intraprocedural Hemodynamics During Concomitant Rheocarna Therapy and Maintenance Hemodialysis: Effects of Dialyzer Membrane Type and Circuit Sequence. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Clin Apher
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]

open access: yesTher Apher Dial
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]

open access: yes, 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 ...

Systematic Review of Low‐Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Apheresis for the Treatment of Familial Hypercholesterolemia

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2016
BackgroundApheresis is an important treatment for reducing low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL‐C) in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). We systematically reviewed the current literature surrounding LDL‐C apheresis for FH.
