Fig 2 Multimer analysis of von Willebrand factor (vWF) by gel electrophoresis. Preoperation (Preop): large multimer of vWF was absent. Postoperation (Postop): multimer of vWF was normalized 7 days after the aortic valve replacement (black arrows). (L = large multimer [molecular weight: about 5500 to 7500 kD]; M = medium multimer [molecular weight: about 3000 to 5000 kD]; S = small multimer [molecular weight: about 1000 to 2500 kD]; SS = smallest multimer [molecular weight: about 500 kD]; N = control A: this patient.)
