100 Years of vWD w/ Dr. Nathan Connell

This year marks 100 years since von Willebrand disease (vWD) was first described, and on this episode of BloodStream we take a closer look at how far the field has come. Our beloved hosts, Patrick and Amy happily welcome Dr. Nathan Connell, hematologist and leading expert in bleeding disorders, for a conversation about the past, present, and future of vWD. Together they explore how our understanding of the condition has evolved since its discovery, the challenges that remain in diagnosis and care, and why awareness still matters for the millions of people worldwide living with vWD. From early clinical observations to modern treatment approaches, Dr. Connell reflects on the milestones that have shaped care over the last century—and what the next hundred years could hold. Plus, a preview of what's coming next on BloodStream as we approach World Hemophilia Day. Show Notes: Presenting Sponsor: Takeda, visit bleedingdisorders.com to learn more.
