    Gastrointestinal bleeding associated with aortic stenosis is often undiagnosed. Mesenteric angiography is crucial for identifying vascular malformations, typically in the right colon, leading to successful surgical treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Cardiology
    • Vascular Surgery

    Background:

    • Aortic stenosis can be associated with gastrointestinal bleeding, a rare but serious complication.
    • Conventional diagnostic methods often fail to identify the source of bleeding in these patients.

    Observation:

    • Five patients with aortic stenosis presented with massive lower gastrointestinal hemorrhages.
    • Standard radiological procedures were insufficient for diagnosis.

    Findings:

    • Mesenteric angiography successfully identified the source of bleeding in all five patients.
    • Vascular malformations (angiodysplasia) were found in the right colon in four patients and the jejunum in one.
    • Surgical intervention, including right hemicolectomy and partial jejunectomy, resulted in complete cure for all patients.

    Implications:

    • Mesenteric angiography is a vital diagnostic tool for gastrointestinal bleeding in patients with aortic stenosis.
    • Surgical management of identified vascular malformations offers a definitive treatment option.
    • Highlights the importance of considering aortic stenosis in unexplained gastrointestinal bleeding.
