Reversal of angiodysplasia-derived anemia after transcatheter aortic valve implantation

Summary: | Summary Aortic valve stenosis associated with angiodysplasia (Heyde's syndrome) and consequent anemia had previously been reported to benefit from surgical aortic valve replacement. In this clinical case an 89-year-old patient with chronic angiodysplasia-derived anemia, characterized by acute phases of active gastrointestinal bleeding experienced a normalization of hemoglobin values after a trans-catheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) of a self-expandable aortic valve prosthesis (CoreValve, Medtronic Inc., Minneapolis, MN, USA). This is the first, to our knowledge, reported clinical case of remission of angiodysplasia-derived anemia after TAVI. |
