Medical Management of Heyde Syndrome

Abstract

Heyde syndrome is a triad of bleeding colonic angiodysplasia, aortic stenosis, and acquired coagulopathy. It is most commonly seen in the elderly between 60-80 years of age. We present a case of Heyde syndrome presenting with severe anemia secondary to bleeding angiodysplasia or arteriovenous malformations (AVM) in the lower gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
