[Gastrointestinal angiodysplasia]
Abstract
8 cases of gastrointestinal angiodysplasia are reported. It can be stated on the analysis of these cases, that the angiodysplasia can be the cause of unexplained GI hemorrhages, and in the majority of cases the visceral angiography provides diagnostic evidence. The angiodysplasia can be observed frequently in association with liver cirrhosis and aortic valvular stenosis. Surgery is regarded as the best method of treatment. Subsequently the careful resection rebleeding and development of newer angiodysplasia can occur.
