Fig 5 Preoperative immunoblotting analysis. Electrophoresis of human von Willebrand factor typically yields 15 bands, reflecting the range of multimers (S, M, and L indicate small, middle, and large multimers, respectively). Small multimers are represented by the bottom to fifth bands, whereas large multimers are presented by the 11th to 15th bands. The black arrow indicates a deficit of large multimers (L zone). Acquired type IIA von Willebrand disease is characterized by loss of the large von Willebrand factor multimers (L zone). (SS = shear stress.)

Fig 6 Postoperative immunoblotting analysis. Normalization of large von Willebrand factor multimers occurred in patients without patient–prosthesis mismatch but not in patients with patient–prosthesis mismatch (S, M, and L indicate small, middle, and large multimers, respectively). Panels A, C, and D represent the postoperative electrophoresis of the patients without patient–prosthesis mismatch. Panels B and E represent the postoperative electrophoresis of those with patient–prosthesis mismatch. (SS = shear stress.)
