Abstract

This manuscript highlights a new ANSM (French security agency for food & drug) approved method of ECP in order to render ECP easier and more secure for children and adults, with shorter time of procedure and lower final volume of cells (100 ml) and lower injected 8-MOP. This modified procedure is appropriately called "a Low Volume ECP (LV-ECP)".

Keywords: 8-MOP reduction; LV-EPC; Time saving; Volume reduction.
