Brief Answer:
No

Detailed Answer:
Dear sir, I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns but these factors are not related to blood vessel failure.. vWD levels determine the clotting profile and its decrease limit the body’s ability to form clots and increase bleeding tendency while it’s increase causes the opposite. while D dimer increases in cases where blood clots are already formed in an attempt of the body to dissolve it. I hope you find this helpful. if you don’t have any other clarifications then please close the discussion
