Abstract

All patients with von Willebrand's disease (vWD) who showed an arterial or venous thrombosis and were reported in the literature have been evaluated. 11 patients had arterial thrombosis while 19 had venous thrombosis for a total of 30 cases. 9 out the 11 cases with arterial thrombosis had myocardial infarction. Two had cerebral thrombosis. Associated risk factors for arterial thrombosis were available only for three patients who showed, respectively, smoking and dyslipidemia (2 cases) and smoking and intravenous desmopressin infusion (1 case). The majority of patients with venous thrombosis showed DVT with or without PE. Four patients presented with apparently isolated PE. In two instances thrombosis occurred in unusual sites (central retinal vein and portal vein, respectively). Several associated risk factors were present, mainly: infusion of FVIII or FVIII + vWF concentrates in 7 cases; surgery in 8 cases, pregnancy in 1, desmopressin infusion in 1, variable coagulation defects or polymorphisms in 5. More than one of these associated conditions were present in a few patients. The majority of vWD patients who showed thrombotic phenomena were type I patient, but in 6 cases were also type 3. The type of defect was not reported i...Continue Reading

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
