Abstract During extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support, the high shear stress in the ECMO circuit results in increased proteolysis of von Willebrand Factor (VWF), loss of VWF high molecular weight..

Abstract Objectives: To investigate changes in von Willebrand factor (VWF) concentration, function, and multimers during pediatric extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and determine whether routine monitoring of VWF during ECMO would be useful..

Abstract Background Bleeding contributes to the high mortality of venovenous membrane oxygenation (vvECMO). The development of acquired von Willebrand syndrome (AVWS) has been identified as relevant pathology during ECMO. This study..
