Résumé
Autologous stem cell transplantation remains an integral treatment tool for certain childhood malignancies. In children, a central venous catheter is typically necessary to provide adequate flow rates for preparative apheresis. In this study, the feasibility and efficiency of collecting CD34+ cells via an indwelling Hickman catheter, preimplanted for chemotherapy, instead of placing an additional temporary central venous catheter was evaluated. Forty-eight pediatric leukaphereses for autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation using Spectra Optia MNC, Version 3.0 were reviewed. We compared preimplanted Hickman catheters with a temporary Shaldon catheter, inserted for apheresis. Apheresis was considered successful if a dose of 2 × 10 In 43 (89.6%) of the 48 patients, a Hickman catheter was used for leukapheresis. Only 5 patients (10.4%) received a temporary Shaldon catheter. In both groups, apheresis was performed without apparent adverse reactions. The dose of collected CD34+ peripheral blood stem cells was 12.7 × 10 These data indicate the reliable feasibility and efficacy of mobilized apheresis via an indwelling Hickman catheter. In light of this, the routine insertion of a dialysis catheter for the purpose of leukapheresis should be critically reconsidered.

BACKGROUND
Autologous stem cell transplantation remains an integral treatment tool for certain childhood malignancies. In children, a central venous catheter is typically necessary to provide adequate flow rates for preparative apheresis. In this study, the feasibility and efficiency of collecting CD34+ cells via an indwelling Hickman catheter, preimplanted for chemotherapy, instead of placing an additional temporary central venous catheter was evaluated.
STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS
Forty-eight pediatric leukaphereses for autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation using Spectra Optia MNC, Version 3.0 were reviewed. We compared preimplanted Hickman catheters with a temporary Shaldon catheter, inserted for apheresis. Apheresis was considered successful if a dose of 2 × 10
RESULTS
In 43 (89.6%) of the 48 patients, a Hickman catheter was used for leukapheresis. Only 5 patients (10.4%) received a temporary Shaldon catheter. In both groups, apheresis was performed without apparent adverse reactions. The dose of collected CD34+ peripheral blood stem cells was 12.7 × 10
CONCLUSION
These data indicate the reliable feasibility and efficacy of mobilized apheresis via an indwelling Hickman catheter. In light of this, the routine insertion of a dialysis catheter for the purpose of leukapheresis should be critically reconsidered.
