Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Purpose: To describe a novel configuration of venous access for the performance of intermittent apheresis.

Participants: 20 participants at UNC who were referred for change from a vortex port to a powerflow port.

Procedures (methods): Placement of one of two configurations of the powerflow port and follow up visits between January 1, 2019 and December 31, 2023.
