ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
Patients with von Willebrand disease (vWD) undergoing surgery are routinely treated with von Willebrand factor (vWF)/factor VIII (FVIII) concentrate to control bleeding risk, but consensus is lacking on optimal dosing. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tailored doses of vWF/FVIII concentrate according to intervention-associated bleeding risk in vWD patients undergoing surgery.METHODS:
This was a retrospective analysis of vWD patients who underwent surgical procedures at a haemophilia centre. Patients received vWF/FVIII concentrate with dosage and duration of treatment dependent on intervention type (dental, gynaecological, abdominal or orthopaedic/traumatic) and bleeding risk (moderate/high).RESULTS:
Eighty-three surgical procedures (42 patients) were included. Median preoperative loading doses of vWF/FVIII concentrate were 29.9âIU/kg and 35.7âIU/kg for interventions with moderate ( n â=â16) or high ( n â=â67) bleeding risk, respectively. The median perioperative dose was highest in orthopaedic or trauma-related surgery (140âIU/kg) and lowest in dental or gynaecological interventions (76.4âIU/kg and 80.0âIU/kg, respectively). During follow-up, no bleeding or other complications were observed in 95% of patients.CONCLUSIONS:
Individually tailored doses of vWF/FVIII concentrate according to intervention-associated bleeding risk were effective in preventing postoperative bleeding, with few complications observed. These doses may be used as guidance in routine clinical care.
