In a patient with type I von Willebrand disease who is pregnant and at increased risk for preeclampsia, would you recommend treatment with aspirin?

Risk factors for preeclampsia include advanced maternal age and twin gestation. Would your thinking differ if their bleeding history is limited to easy bruising, and has previously had uncomplicated pregnancies and deliveries not requiring any vWD-directed treatment?
