Does aortic valve replacement prevent recurrent bleeding from gastrointestinal angiodysplasias in patients with aortic stenosis?
Aortic valve replacement may be an effective treatment for gastrointestinal bleeding from angiodysplasias associated with aortic stenosis, suggesting elective GI surgery should be postponed.
Mitchell S. Cappell (1986) conducted a case report in Recurrent bleeding from gastrointestinal angiodysplasias associated with aortic stenosis (n=2). Aortic valve replacement was evaluated on Cessation of recurrent bleeding from gastrointestinal angiodysplasias. Aortic valve replacement resulted in the cessation of recurrent bleeding from gastrointestinal angiodysplasias in two patients with aortic stenosis.
