Midline catheters for extracorporeal photopheresis in hematological patients

CONCLUSION: In GVHD patients, ECP can be performed efficiently and safely using single lumen polyurethane power injectable MCs. The best results are obtained with 5Fr rather than with 4Fr catheters. This strategy of venous access should be implemented in DIVA patients requiring ECP treatments, and probably also in other types of apheresis.PMID:34459312 | DOI:10.1177/11297298211041450
