The mechanism of the transient beneficial effect of 1-deamino(8-D-arginine) vasopressin (dDAVP) infusion in the hemostasis of some BSS patients is not fully understood. We have studied the effect of dDAVP infusion in a BSS patient using an ex vivo perfusion system. Additional coagulation and flow cytometry studies were also performed. Prolonged bleeding time (30 min) was not affected by dDAVP infusion. However, perfusion experiments performed with low molecular weight heparin anticoagulated blood (which permits the study of fibrin deposition on perfused subendothelium) showed a significant increase in platelet deposition (6.2% before dDAVP infusion; 20.3% after) and fibrin formation. dDAVP infusion also caused an increase in prothrombin consumption compared with base line values (33 vs 46%). Flow cytometry studies of the patients platelets showed no changes in binding of monoclonal antibodies against CD41, CD36, CD62P or CD63. The increase in thrombus formation observed in perfusions may be dependent on FVIII since it could be reproduced by adding purified free or von Willebrand factor (vWf)-associated FVIII to the patient's blood in vitro. The shortening effect of dDAVP on bleeding time observed in some Bernard-Soulier syndrome patients might be related to an increase in factor FVIII levels induced by dDAVP infusion. |
