Low‐Density Lipoprotein Apheresis for Prevention and Regression of Atherosclerosis: Clinical Results

Abstract: Hypercholesterolemia can be adequately controlled by appropriate diet and maximum lipid lowering drug therapy in most patients. Nevertheless, there exists a group of patients, including those with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), who remain at high risk for the development or progression of premature coronary heart disease (CHD). For these patients additional measures such as surgery and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) apheresis have to be considered. The objective of this multicenter trial, which included 30… Show more

“…In the presentstudy the mean decrease in IgG was 30.9% and was withinthe normal range for the patients’ age group. Mean decreasein IgG ranged from 27% to 32% in other studies [25,27]. Although acute mean reductions of 59.7% in fibrinogen,21.5% in serum protein, 14.7% in serum albumin, and14.2% in platelets were noted, we did not observe any infection,hemorrhagia, or edema in our patients.…”

“…It is known that lowering LDL including modified LDL in the blood of patients using drug therapy or extracorporeal LDL removal causes regression of atherosclerosis [1012]. In the present work we have shown a significant impact of nonlipid factor(s) to blood atherogenicity.…”
