Does aortic valve replacement resolve bleeding from angiodysplasia in patients with aortic stenosis?
This case report highlights the association between aortic stenosis and bleeding angiodysplasia (Heyde's syndrome), demonstrating that aortic valve replacement can effectively resolve the bleeding.
May support AVR for angiodysplasia bleeding in aortic stenosis; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before practice change.
A case of bleeding from angiodysplasia in association with aortic stenosis is presented. The particular interest in this patient is that the bleeding ceased immediately after the insertion of a bioprosthetic valve and recurred when the valve restenosed. Furthermore, the bleeding again promptly resolved when the valve was exchanged for a metallic prosthesis despite long-term anticoagulation. The implications of these observations are discussed.

Soran et al. (2002) conducted a case report in Bleeding angiodysplasia and aortic stenosis (n=1). Aortic valve replacement was evaluated on Cessation of bleeding.
