[Prophylaxis of hepatic veno-occlusive disease by low-molecular-weight heparin and lipo- prostaglandin E1 after allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation].

ABSTRACT

To study the effects of low-molecular-weight heparin and lipid microspheres containing prostaglandin E(1) (lipo PGE) in preventing hepatic veno-occlusive disease after allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation, we observed 21 cases of allogeneic stem cell transplantation, in which the combined treatments were administered from day -7 to day +30. As a result, only 2 of these cases developed hepatic veno-occlusive disease, without obvious treatment-related adverse effects, suggesting the safety and effectiveness of the combined treatment using low-molecular-weight heparin and lipo PGE1 in the prevention of hepatic veno-occlusive disease after allogenetic stem cell transplantation.
