Von Willebrand's disease:
Treatment
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
The goals of treatment are to shorten bleeding time by local measures and to replace factor VIII (and, consequently, vWF) by infusion of cryoprecipitate or blood fractions that are rich in factor VIII.
During bleeding and before surgery, I.V. infusion of cryoprecipitate or fresh frozen plasma (in quantities sufficient to raise factor VIII levels to 50% of normal) shortens bleeding time. Desmopressin given parenterally or intranasally is effective in raising serum levels of vWF.

Desmopressin given parenterally or intranasally is effective in raising serum levels of VWF by enhancing cellular release of stored Factor VIII.
