Effect of transfusion therapy on arteriographic abnormalities and on recurrence of stroke in sickle cell disease

TL;DR: Cerebral arteriograms in 30 patients with sickle cell disease evaluated the cause of acute neurologic deficits and the effects of transfusion therapy given for a year or more after the acute episode and suggested that endothelial damage and intimal hyperplasia were the basis of stroke.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of the hemostatic effects of fresh whole blood, stored whole blood, and components after open heart surgery in children

TL;DR: It is concluded that the transfusions of less than 48 hours old whole blood is associated with significantly less post-op blood loss than the transfusion of packed red blood cells, FFP, and platelets in children under 2 years old who underwent complex cardiac surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI

A modified transfusion program for prevention of stroke in sickle cell disease.

TL;DR: Evidence is offered that a target pretransfusion HbS level of 50% affords a continuing high rate of protection against recurrent cerebral infarction in sickle cell disease after 4 years of a conventional transfusion program.
Journal ArticleDOI

Erythrocytapheresis Therapy to Reduce Iron Overload in Chronically Transfused Patients With Sickle Cell Disease

TL;DR: Long-term erythrocytapheresis markedly reduces or prevents iron accumulation and may prevent long-term complications of sickle cell disease without risk of iron overload and the need for chelation therapy.
