Vascular access for apheresis: State of the art

Published:February 24, 2023DOI:https://doi.org/10.1016/j.transci.2023.103669

      Abstract

      The vascular access is a crucial issue when performing a therapeutic apheresis treatment, therefore an updated knowledge of the available vascular access devices is recommended. There are not many vascular access devices designed for apheresis, but potentially useful devices may be found on the market. One of the most useful improvements in an apheresis unit is the use of an ultrasound system for cannulating peripheral veins.
