Objective: To investigate the effect of Danshen injection combined with prostaglandin E1 and low-dose heparinon prevention of hepatic veno-occlusive disease (HVOD) after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Methods: A total of 126 patients undergoing HSCT between January 2008 and June 2015, received a combined prophylactic regimen of intravenous Danshen 20-30 ml/day, prostaglandin E 120-30 μg/d, and subcutaneous injection of low-dose heparin (100 U/kg/day) for prevention of HVOD. The incidence of HVOD and adverse events associated with this prophylactic regimen were observed.
Results: Among 126 patients, 65 received autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplant, 34 received HLAidentical sibling HSCT, six received HLA mismatched siblingHSCT, seven received HLA-matched unrelated HSCT, and 14 received HLA-mismatched unrelated H.. View More»
