Article Synopsis
- Microvascular remodeling and capillary repopulation can take place after autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) in patients with systemic sclerosis and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
- A case study highlighted significant capillary damage pre-HSCT in a 33-year-old woman with severe symptoms that didn’t respond to standard treatments, leading to her need for the transplant.
- Nailfold videocapillaroscopy (NVC) showed improvements in capillary density and structural changes after HSCT, suggesting the potential of NVC as a tool for evaluating responses in similar patients.
