Review on gastrointestinal angiodysplasia throughout the gastrointestinal tract

Sabina Beg et al. Best Pract Res Clin Gastroenterol. 2017 Feb.

Abstract

Gastrointestinal angiodysplasia are rare but clinically important vascular aberrations found within the gastrointestinal mucosa and submucosa. Their clinical impact varies from being an asymptomatic incidental finding, to causing life threatening bleeding. In this review we critically appraise the key findings from the current literature on the pathology, clinical presentation and management of these lesions.

Keywords: Angiodysplasia; Argon Plasma Coagulation; Endoscopy; Octreotide; Thalidomide.
