ABSTRACT
CF was introduced in clinical medicine in 1980. Up to now, exclusively two-vein procedures have been carried out with some limitations to expansion of this technique. In this report we describe the very first application of single-needle CF carried out with Haemonetics MCS + apparatus. Twenty procedures were completed without any untoward effect in patients suffering from TTP, post-hepatitic cryoblobulinemia, familial hypercholesterolemia and acute Guillan-Barrè Syndrome. From 1 to 4 sessions were carried out per patient with the expected laboratory and clinical results. The only limit is the procedure time that averages 231 +/- 48 min., approximately 40% longer than two needle procedures.
