[Use of virus-inactivated plasma in apheresis treatment of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura: preliminary data].

Abstract

Plasma exchange (TPEx) with fresh frozen plasma (FFP) or cryosupernatant plasma infusion is the treatment of choice for thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). The authors evaluate the preliminary data of the multicenter SIdEM study that compares virus-inactivated plasma with fresh frozen plasma (FFP) or cryosupernatant plasma in the apheretic treatment of TTP.
