Bivalent property of intra-platelet VWF in liver regeneration and HCC recurrence: A prospective multicenter study

Abstract

This multicenter, prospective, pilot study demonstrates a bivalent property of IP VWF in LR and oncological outcome; low preoperative VWF appeared to have a negative association on post-resection liver dysfunction, whereas, patients with higher post-resection VWF-Ag concentrations were found to have early HCC recurrence.
