An alternative procedure to leukapheresis for peripheral hematopoietic progenitor cell collection in very‐low‐weight children: A single pediatric center experience

PBSC collection using a blood cell separator in very low weight patients can be frequently complicated by severe adverse effects and technical difficulties.
