Aortic valve replacement can effectively resolve recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding in patients with Heyde syndrome by correcting the underlying acquired von Willebrand syndrome.
May support AVR for refractory GI bleeding in Heyde syndrome; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective confirmation.
Calcific aortic stenosis can be associated with gastrointestinal bleeding mainly from angiodysplasias which refer to Heyde syndrome. This association is considered as a form of acquiredVon Willebrand syndrome.Aortic valve replacement allows cessation of gastrointestinal bleeding and the need for blood transfusions in these patients. We describe three cases with medical history of aortic stenosisand they presented gastrointestinal bleeding related to angiodysplasias of the stomach and colon. In one case, aortic valve replacement leads to a stable hemoglobin with no further episodes of gastrointestinal bleeding.

Borahma et al. (2023) conducted a case report in Heyde syndrome (Aortic stenosis and gastrointestinal bleeding) (n=3). Aortic valve replacement and argon plasma coagulation was evaluated on Cessation of gastrointestinal bleeding and stabilization of hemoglobin. Aortic valve replacement and argon plasma coagulation successfully treated gastrointestinal bleeding and stabilized hemoglobin in patients with Heyde syndrome.
