Interventions
Wilate ® will be given with platelets in cases of severe bleeding. Wilate ® is a 1:1 balanced mixture of von Willebrand Factor (2'000 IU) and Coagulation factor VIII (2'000 IU) and as such has anti-haemorrhagic potential. It is extracted from plasma, freeze-dried and virus-inactivated.
Empty placebo will be given with platelets in cases of severe bleeding.
