Characterization of a Porcine Model for Von Willebrand Disease Type 1 and 3 Regarding Expression of Angiogenic Mediators in the Nonpregnant Female Reproductive Tract.

In conclusion, severely reduced VWF seems to evoke angiodysplasia in the porcine uterus. Varying distribution and expression of angiogenic factors suggest that this large animal model is promising for investigation of influence of VWF on angiogenesis in larger groups.
