such as a stenosis‚ or the narrowing of arterial vessels‚ the rates can increase 400 times the normal amount and can lead to thrombosis. The third major point of the article is the effects of vWF on thrombosis. In order for thrombosis to form platelets must attach to the vessel wall through an adhesive surface and protein such as vWF‚ which is the preferred protein for platelets to bond with. The platelets in the blood vessel are more likely to bond to the walls when paired with stenosis‚ high shear
