Prospective crossover study for a standardized comparison of the dextrane sulfate whole blood and plasma apheresis system in patients with cardiovascular disease and severe dyslipidemia

In conclusion, the whole blood system was faster and more effective in this LA patient group with pre apheresis LDL-C<6 mmol/l. Whether the regenerable plasma system is more effective in patients with higher LDL-C content should be evaluated in future standardized comparisons.
