Abstract
Preoperative VWF HMWM defects corrected at the end of CPB in the absence of haemostatic therapy in most patients undergoing AV surgery. Diffuse bleeding occurring after CPB is unlikely to be related to persisting type 2A von Willebrand syndrome; other causes of coagulopathy should be suspected. Administration of VWF/FVIII concentrates appears unnecessary in this setting.
