Perioperative von Willebrand factor dynamics are associated with liver regeneration and predict outcome after liver resection

von Willebrand Factor (vWF) was found to mediate platelet influx during the early phase of liver regeneration in mice. Furthermore, increased vWF‐antigen (vWF‐Ag) levels were shown to be predictive for outcome of patients with chronic liver disease. Accordingly, we aimed to assess the relevance of p...
