flag A 65-year-old man finally diagnosed with von Willebrand disease after decades of severe bleeding, now manages it effectively with a plasma-free treatment.

flag Frank, a 65-year-old man, was finally diagnosed with von Willebrand disease (VWD), the most common bleeding disorder in the U.S., after decades of unexplained severe nosebleeds and life-threatening gastrointestinal bleeds. flag His condition, which went undiagnosed for years, led to frequent hospitalizations and complications from blood transfusions. flag In 2013, a family diagnosis prompted testing that confirmed VWD. flag He began treatment with VONVENDI, a recombinant von Willebrand factor therapy approved for on-demand use, perioperative prevention, and prophylaxis in adults. flag The treatment, made without human plasma, helped him manage bleeds effectively and regain control, offering new stability despite the condition’s lifelong nature.
