The Effect of Desmopressin on Platelet Function: A Selective Enhancement of Procoagulant COAT-Platelets in Patients with Primary Platelet Function Defects

1-deamino-8-d-arginine vasopressin (desmopressin [DDAVP]) is clinically efficacious in patients with mild platelet function disorders but it is not known which mechanisms mediate this effect. Our aim was to evaluate the impact of in vivo DDAVP administration in these patients. We assessed von
