  • Title: Advances in LDL-apheresis for the treatment of severe hypercholesterolemia.
    Author: Gordon BR, Saal SD.
    Journal: Curr Opin Lipidol; 1994 Feb; 5(1):69-73. PubMed ID: 15559033.
    Abstract:
    LDL-apheresis is an extracorporeal plasma-perfusion method that selectively removes apolipoprotein B-containing lipoproteins from the blood. It is indicated for patients with homozygous and drug-resistant heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia. Clinical and angiographic regression of coronary artery disease has been demonstrated in patients treated with cholesterol-lowering programs that include LDL-apheresis.
