Fig 1 Preoperative immunoblotting analysis. A deficit of von Willebrand factor large multimers is seen indicating type IIA von Willebrand syndrome. Black arrow shows the deficit zone of large multimers (L zone in the A). (A = patient before surgery; L = large multimers; M = middle multimers; N = control subject; S = small multimers; SS = very small multimers.)

Fig 2 Postoperative immunoblotting analysis. Protein bands have normalized due to the increase in large multimers. (A = patient after surgery; L = large multimers; M = middle multimers; N = control subject; S = small multimers; SS = very small multimers.)
