Aortic stenosis and angiodysplasia in the elderly: common things occur commonly?

Heyman Luckraz, Sharul Hashim and Saeed Ashraf

Cardiothoracic Unit, Morriston Hospital, Swansea NHS Trust, Swansea SA6 6NL, UK

An elderly lady with severe aortic stenosis presented with profuse bleeding per rectum, secondary to angiodysplasia of the small intestine. An emergency aortic valve replacement with a bioprosthesis led to the resolution of her symptoms. Although the association of aortic stenosis and angiodysplasia have been described previously, the patho-physiological mechanisms remain unclear.

Key Words: Angiodysplasia; Aortic stenosis
