While acid citrate dextrose solution A (ACD‐A) is a common anticoagulant (AC) for HPC apheresis [HPC(A)], recent evidence suggests that concomitant heparin may enhance intra‐apheresis recruitment (IAR) of CD34 + cells and improve collection efficiency. This study aimed to compare citrate‐only and citrate–heparin protocols in routine HPC(A) procedures, with a focus on their effects on IAR and efficiency outcomes. A retrospective analysis was performed on 266 HPC(As) from 193 apheresis donors in autologous and allogeneic settings. Donor demographics, procedural parameters, and collection outcomes were compared between the ACD‐A–only and ACD‐A plus heparin protocols. The study endpoints included apheresis yield (AY/kg), collection efficiencies (CE 1 , CE 2 , and cruCE), recruitment ratio (RR), and performance ratio (PR). Statistical analyses included Mann–Whitney U tests, effect sizes, and partial least squares (PLS) regression. Heparinized procedures demonstrated higher processed total blood volume ratios, lower AC volumes, and superior outcomes across CE 1 (83.8% vs. 72.5%, p  = 0.00027), CE 2 (70.8% vs. 64.2%, p  = 0.0055), cruCE (77.0% vs. 72.4%, p  < 0.0001), RR (2.3 vs. 1.7, p  < 0.0001), PR (239.3% vs. 208.2%, p  < 0.0001), and AY/kg (6.75 vs. 5.23 × 10 6 CD34 + cells/kg, p  = 0.0025). The effect size and PLS analyses confirmed the contribution of heparin as an adjunct AC enhancing multiple apheresis outcomes. In summary, citrate–heparin anticoagulation was found to be a feasible strategy that improved key collection efficiency and IAR metrics during HPC(A). 10.1002/jca.70118 http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/termsAndConditions#vor
