The Utility of Thromboelastography in Monitoring Von Willebrand Disease: A Case Report.

Von Willebrand disease (VWD) is the most common inherited bleeding disorder. It is primarily attributed to malfunctioning or deficient Von Willebrand factor (VWF). Thromboelastography (TEG) has emerged as a valuable tool for assessing coagulation dynamics and guiding transfusion therapy in bleeding patients. Given this, we present a case study of a 23-year-old pregnant female with a past medical history of type 2B VWD, wherein TEG was employed to optimize disease screening and therapy monitoring while minimizing costs and preventing complications associated with low platelet counts. This case underscores the potential utility of TEG in enhancing the care of VWD patients, particularly in unique critical settings such as pregnancy.
