Abstract:
Gastrointestinal hemorrhage from angiodysplasiamay may be associated with degenerative aortic valve stenosis , the associated of the two conditions termed Heyde ’ s syndrome.Gastrointestinal angiodysplasia and aortic valve stenosis areboth chronic degenerative diseases, and the incidence rate increased with age.Degenerative aortic stenosis can enhance high molec-ular weight polymer damage, which subsequently increases the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding.Aortic valve replacement is considered as the first-line treatment for patients with severe aortic stenosis , and can effectively improve the outcomes of hemor-rhagic angiodysplasia and acquired coagulopathy .However, the substantial connection between aortic valve stenosis and gastro-intestinal bleeding remains unclear, and the clinical diagnosis and treatment of this syndrome need more evidences.Herein, we will review the knowledge of epidemiology, pathogenesis and clinical diagnosis and treatment of Heyde’ s syndrome.
