title: [Selective elimination of atherogenic lipoproteins using dextran-sulfate cellulose. Experiences in 2 patients with heterozygote familial hypercholesterolemia].
abstract: Extracorporeal elimination of atherogenic lipoproteins with dextran-sulfate-cellulose for lowering of plasma cholesterol levels was tested in 2 patients with familial heterozygous hypercholesterolemia (untreated cholesterol values 12.9 +/- 1.5 and 12.5 +/- 1.2 respectively) in a longterm experiment. One patient was treated weekly for a period of 36 weeks and the other at fourteen days' intervals with simultaneous administration of 40 mg/day Simvastatin (synvinolin, MSD) for 8 weeks. The mean reduction in total cholesterol concentration was 41% in the first case and 54% in the second (combination with Simvastatin). The therapy was well tolerated without side effects.
