MSD transplants for SAA - EBMT 1999–2009. Survival in patients with acquired aplastic anemia grafted from HLA identical siblings with bone marrow as a stem cell source (left) or with G mobilized peripheral blood (right). A significant survival advanatage is seen, together with less acute and chronic GvHD.HLA: human leukocyte antigen; MSD: matched sibling donor; EBMT: European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation; ATG: antithymocyte globulin; aGvHD: acute graft-versus-host disease; cGvHD: chronic graft-versus-host disease.
