Abstract

The article discusses several options for the treatment of a rare bleeding disorder called Acquired Von Willebrand Syndrome (AVWS) resulting from reduction in plasma von Willebrand Factor (VWF). According to the author, intravenous immunoglobulin, plasmapheresis and immunomodulatory drugs can be used for treatment instead of desmopressin (DDAVP) and tranexamic acid. AVWS can be found in patients with no previous personal or family history of Von Willebrand Disease (VWD).
