چکیده
Background Combination therapy with deferipron and desferrioxamine (DFP+DFO) seems more effective than DFP and DFO in monotherapy in removing myocardial iron. However, no data are available in literature about prospective comparisons on cardiac iron and function in TM patients treated with DFP+DFO versus DFP and DFO in monotherapy. Aim: The aim of this multi-centre study was to assess prospectively in a large clinical setting the efficacy of the DFP+DFO versus DFP and DFO in TM patients by quantitative MR.

A T2* MRI prospective survey on heart iron in thalassemia major patients treated with sequential deferipron-desferrioxamine versus deferasirox
Background Most deaths in thalassemia major (TM) result from cardiac complications due to iron overload. No data are available in literature about possible different changes in cardiac iron in TM patients treated with sequential deferipron-deferoxamine (DFP-DFO) versus deferasirox (DFX). Magnetic Resonance (MR) is the unique non invasive suitable technique to evaluated quantitatively this issue.

Abstract Background Myocardial iron overload is the leading cause of death in patients with beta-thalassemia major. Combined therapy with deferiprone(DFP) and desferrioxamine (DFO)were suggested to be more effective than deferasirox(DFX) for removing heart iron. Deferasirox has recently been made available, but its long-term efficacy on cardiac function has not yet been established. Our study...

Background and Purpose: Cardiac complications in major thalassemia are the most debilitating problem among them. Iron chelating with desferrioxamine, may be difficult or inadequate. The aim of this research is to evaluate the effect of combination therapy with the two drugs "deferiprone & desferrioxamine" on cardiac complications in major thalassemia. Materials and Methods: In a clinical t...

BACKGROUND Oral deferiprone was suggested to be more effective than subcutaneous desferrioxamine for removing heart iron. Oral once-daily chelator deferasirox has recently been made commercially available but its long-term efficacy on cardiac iron and function has not yet been established. Our study aimed to compare the effectiveness of deferasirox, deferiprone and desferrioxamine on myocardial...
