von Willebrand factor (VWF), which is synthesized in endothelial cells and megakaryocytes, is known to worsen stroke outcome. In vitro studies suggest that platelet-derived VWF (Plt-VWF) is biochemically different from the endothelial cell-derived VWF (EC-VWF). However, little is known about relative contribution of different pools of VWF in stroke.
