Comprehensive re ‐evaluation of historical von Willebrand disease diagnosis in association with whole blood platelet aggregation and function

We detected normal VWF in 25% of historically diagnosed patients, mainly type 1 patients, implying that there is a need to systematically re‐evaluate historical VWD diagnoses.
