Type 3 von Willebrand disease (VWD) is the most severe form of this disease owing to the almost complete deficiency of von Willebrand factor (VWF). Replacement therapy with plasma-derived products containing VWF or recombinant VWF rarely cause the development of alloantibodies against VWF that may be accompanied by anaphylactic reactions.

Accurate measurements of coagulation factor activity form an essential part of hemophilia management and are performed by the one-stage or chromogenic assay. Current literature suggests that approximately one-third of persons with nonsevere hemophilia A exhibit assay discrepancy, albeit with a high variability between studies. Such data are scarce in nonsevere hemophilia B.

Mashup Score: 0Recommendation on the Nomenclature for Anticoagulants: Updated Communication from the ISTH SSC Subcommittee on the Control of Anticoagulation - 2 year(s) ago
Oral anticoagulation therapy has evolved beyond vitamin K antagonists to include oral direct thrombin inhibitors and factor Xa inhibitors. Collectively known as ‘direct oral anticoagulants’, this class of medications represents the current standard of care for the prevention and treatment of common thrombotic disorders, including atrial fibrillation and venous thromboembolism. Medications that…

Arterial thrombotic events, particularly ischemic stroke and myocardial infarction, are common, and mostly occur due to atherosclerotic disease or arrhythmias. The diagnosis and management of the majority of such events occurs without the involvement of a hematologist, following established guidelines or pathways. In this review, we discuss 3 scenarios in which optimal management is less certain….

Mashup Score: 2Beyond the guidelines: how we approach challenging scenarios in the diagnosis and management of von Willebrand disease - 2 year(s) ago
Although von Willebrand disease (VWD) is the most common inherited bleeding disorder, its diagnosis and management are often challenging. Clinical practice guidelines, developed through systematic review of the medical literature and considering the best available evidence, provide guidance for common clinical scenarios. However, in the clinical setting, patients often present with…
