The relationship between von Willebrand factor antigen (VWF:Ag), von Willebrand factor propeptide (VWFpp), VWFpp/VWF:Ag ratio, ADAMTS13 activity and micro-embolic signal (MES) status in carotid stenosis is unknown. This prospective, multi-centre study simultaneously assessed plasma VWF:Ag, VWFpp levels and ADAMTS13 activity and their relationship with MES status in asymptomatic versus symptomatic ≥50–99% carotid stenosis patients. One-hour transcranial Doppler ultrasound of the middle cerebral arteries classified patients as MES+ve or MES-ve. Data from 34 asymptomatic patients were compared with 43 symptomatic patients in the ‘early phase’ (≤4 weeks) and 37 patients in the ‘late phase’ (≥3 months) after TIA/ischaemic stroke. VWF:Ag levels were higher (P=0.049) and VWFpp/VWF:Ag ratios were lower (P=0.006) in early symptomatic than asymptomatic patients overall, and in early symptomatic vs. asymptomatic MES-ve subgroups (P≤0.02). There were no inter-group differences in VWFpp expression or ADAMTS13 activity (P≥0.05). VWF:Ag levels and ADAMTS13 activity (P≤0.048) decreased and VWFpp/VWF:Ag ratios increased (P=0.03) in symptomatic patients followed up from the early to late phases after TIA/stroke. Although there were no differences in the proportions of symptomatic and asymptomatic patients with blood group O, a combined analysis of early symptomatic and asymptomatic patients revealed lower median VWF:Ag levels in patients with blood group O versus those without blood group O (9.59 vs. 12.32 µg/mL, p 0.035). VWF:Ag expression, a marker of endothelial +/− platelet activation, is enhanced in recently symptomatic versus asymptomatic carotid stenosis patients, including in MES-ve patients, and decreases with ADAMTS13 activity over time following atherosclerotic TIA/ischaemic stroke.
