| Popis: | Heyde’s syndrome is a well-documented entity in the medical literature that can result in life-threatening gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. It is a syndrome that is characterized by the combination of GI angioectasias and aortic stenosis. In most cases, the GI angioectasias resolve entirely with correction of the stenotic valve by way of total aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Rarely will cases recur after TAVR. Our case consists of an 84-year-old woman who presented with three new gastric angioectasias several months after undergoing TAVR. This is an exceedingly rare presentation of Heyde’s syndrome. To our knowledge this is the first such case reported in the medical literature. |
