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.
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.
His condition, which went undiagnosed for years, led to frequent hospitalizations and complications from blood transfusions.
In 2013, a family diagnosis prompted testing that confirmed VWD.
He began treatment with VONVENDI, a recombinant von Willebrand factor therapy approved for on-demand use, perioperative prevention, and prophylaxis in adults.
The treatment, made without human plasma, helped him manage bleeds effectively and regain control, offering new stability despite the condition’s lifelong nature.
