DALI-the first human whole-blood low-density lipoprotein and lipoprotein (a) apheresis system in clinical use: procedure and clinical results.

abstract：:Most physicians and other healthcare professionals are unaware of the pervasiveness of poor quality clinical evidence that contributes considerably to overuse, underuse, avoidable adverse events, missed opportunities for right care and wasted healthcare resources. The Medical Misinformation Mess comprises four key pro...
