Successful hematopoietic progenitor cell collections using fenestrated peripheral catheters: Safety, performance, and engraftment outcomes in a case series

Hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT) requires the efficient and safe collection of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, most commonly via peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cell (PBSC) apheresis after granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)–induced mobilization [1]. PBSC collection success depends on maintaining adequate venous access and sustained blood flow during leukapheresis procedures that frequently process multiple donor blood volumes [2,3].
