PG - 619-622 LID - S1473-0502(18)30355-0 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.transci.2018.09.006 [doi] AB - Peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) are currently one of the most important stem cell sources for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation as well as cell therapy for ischemic heart disease or critical limb ischemia. Thus, it is sometimes necessary to collect autologous PBSCs from donors who have comorbidities. In terms yield, a sufficient number of PBSCs can be collected from donors with comorbidities for performing cell therapy if their age is < 60 years or up to a maximum of 70 years, although the number of PBSCs collected from older donors would probably be lower than that obtained from younger donors. On the other hand, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) administration sometimes results in severe adverse events (AEs), such as ischemic heart disease and vascular thrombosis. Therefore, it is very important to perform strict medical check-ups according to the standards for donor operations in each country before apheresis. The apheresis procedure and G-CSF administration should be performed after administering the appropriate treatment. There is very less information available regarding AEs related to citrate administration during apheresis in aged donors with complicated medical histories. Medical staff should have knowledge of the electrocardiogram (ECG) QTc prolongation that occurs during apheresis owing to hypocalcemia caused by citrate administration, necessitating electrocardiographic monitoring of patients. Calcium should be administered during apheresis to prevent citrate related symptoms. CI - Copyright (c) 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
