 | | Right hemicolectomy for angiodysplasia is second-line therapy after endoscopic ablation, if repeated endoscopic coagulation has failed, if endoscopic therapies are not available, and for life-threatening hemorrhage. | | | Angiodysplasia that presents with acute hemorrhage can be controlled effectively with angiography, although it seldom is needed. | | | Internationally: No wide-scale studies to determine the incidence of angiodysplasia have been conducted, but the incidence probably is similar to that in the United States. |

| | Definitive cure requires surgery, however, as either angiographic occlusion or endoscopic therapy will provide only temporary relief of the bleeding in most instances. | | | This will greatly facilitate location of the exact site of the lesion during surgery. | | | If surgery is considered following angiographic demonstration of angiodysplasia it is advisable to leave a small catheter in place at the end of the procedure. |

| | Hormone Therapy for GI Bleeding from Angiodysplasia - Journal Watch (General) |
| | During an average follow-up of 14 months, there was no significant difference between groups in the incidence of rebleeding (39 percent of hormone-therapy recipients vs. 46 percent of placebo recipients) or mean number of bleeding episodes per year (0.7 vs. 0.9). | | | Hormone Therapy for GI Bleeding from Angiodysplasia - Journal Watch (General) | | | Because gastrointestinal bleeding from angiodysplasia is such a vexing problem, it may be worth studying whether differing patient populations account for the varied outcomes associated with hormone therapy, and whether hormone therapy is effective in certain subgroups. |

| | Angiodysplasia - Definition of Angiodysplasia by Webster's Online Dictionary | | | Development is related to age and strain on the bowel wall, which is thought to influence the caliber change and proliferation of the vascular tissue. | | | Although the lesions can be notoriously hard to find, the patient usually is diagnosed by endoscopy. |

| | During therapy, the mean monthly transfusion requirement of packed red blood cells in the treated group was not significantly different from that found before therapy (1.5 vs. 2.2 units, NS) or from that of the control group (1.5 vs. 1.6 units, NS). | | | Question: Does hormonal therapy have any benefit for bleeding angiodysplasia? | | | Title: Does hormonal therapy have any benefit for bleeding angiodysplasia? |

| | Echocardiography |
| | The authors conclude that the low prevalence of aortic valve stenosis in patients with gastrointestinal angiodysplasia (1/59 or 1.6%) in this retrospective study argues against the association of gastrointestinal angiodysplasia and aortic valve stenosis. | | | Echocardiographic findings were reported in a retrospective study of 83 patients who underwent gastrointestinal endoscopy and were found to have angiodysplasia. | | | However, both aortic stenosis and angiodysplasia are common in the elderly, and the association between the two may be coincidental, rather than causal. |

| | Colonic angiodysplasia [CJS - August 1998] |
| | Although colonic angiodysplasia may be associated with concurrent medical disease processes, such as aortic stenosis (Heyde's syndrome), it is generally considered to be a process of senescence. | | | The pathogenesis of angiodysplastic lesions is widely believed to be mechanical: chronic intermittent submucosal venous obstruction, leading to vascular ectasia. | | | Blood loss can be occult, presenting as chronic iron deficiency anemia, or it can present as hematochezia or melena. |

| | Colonic angiodysplasia is a common cause of acute or chronic rectal bleeding and iron deficiency anaemia. | | | Angiodysplasias are tiny - 1-5 mm in diameter - hamartomatous capillary lesions in the colonic wall which produce bleeding out of proportion to their size. | | | They are believed to be acquired, possibly as a result of tension on the veins where they pass through the muscularis. |
