Arteriovenous malformation in chronic gastrointestinal bleeding.

C M Cavett, J H Selby, J L Hamilton

    Annals of Surgery
    |January 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    Gastrointestinal arteriovenous malformations are rare and difficult to diagnose. Selective mesenteric arteriography is crucial for identifying these vascular lesions, improving patient outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Vascular Surgery
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) of the gastrointestinal tract are infrequent vascular anomalies.
    • Diagnosis is challenging due to limitations of conventional imaging like barium studies and endoscopy.

    Observation:

    • Selective mesenteric arteriography is the gold standard for diagnosing GI AVMs.
    • AVMs commonly occur in the cecum (45%) and distal ileum/colon (80%).
    • Patients are typically aged 50-80 years and present with chronic gastrointestinal bleeding and anemia.

    Findings:

    • The study reviewed 49 cases of GI AVMs, detailing their location and patient demographics.
    • Characteristic findings on arteriography include a vascular tuft and early venous filling.

    Implications:

    • Delayed diagnosis is common, often following negative exploratory surgeries.
    • An aggressive diagnostic approach utilizing selective mesenteric arteriography is recommended for suspected chronic GI bleeding.
