    Author: Thorell L, Blombäck M, Blombäck B.
    Journal: Thromb Res; 1983 Jul 15; 31(2):375-85. PubMed ID: 6415854.
    Abstract:
    The efficacy of high purity preparations of factor VIII complex are usually lacking effect on the bleeding time in von Willebrand's disease. In this report we have studied the efficacy of a new high purity factor VIII preparation in two von Willebrand and two hemophilia A patients. The prolonged bleeding time in the patients with von Willebrand's disease was corrected after infusion of the preparation and a secondary rise in factor VIII procoagulant activity (VIII:C) demonstrated. The biological half-life time of VIII:C, in the two hemophilia A patients, was about 15 hrs. The investigation shows that this particular preparation is capable of correcting the prolonged bleeding time in von Willebrand's disease.
