Is there any benefit to using desmopressin over vWF replacement therapy for vWD?

For mild type 1 and 2A, we do offer DDAVP testing and use. It was a much more useful drug when it was widely available as a nasal spray. It still has its place, but with patients whose level of VWF is <20% baseline, we have a lot of treatment failures and end up using factor.
