The newly revised and updated second edition of Textbook of von Willebrand Disease: Basic and Clinical Aspects, 2nd edition describes the important and complex role of von Willebrand factor (VWF) in hemostasis and thrombosis, covering not only the current understanding of its molecular biology, but also the association between genetic variants of VWF and different von Willebrand disease (VWD) phenotypes.

Many advances in agents are included in this updated edition, as well as the wide topics such as VWF in Angiogenesis, and VWF/ADAMTS13 as risk factors of thrombosis.
