Right colon angiodysplasia and lower limb chronic obstructive arteropathy: simultaneous endovascular treatment
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Intestinal angiodyspalsia is a vascular artero-venous malformation of the enteric wall smaller than 1 cm whose main symptom is enterorrhagy. Diagnosis is based on colonoscopy and mesenteric selective arteriography. Recently, spiral angio-CT has reached a good diagnostic sensitivity and specificity. Radical treatment is still surgical resection. Endoscopic approaches are frequently employed even though relapse of hemorrhage and perforation can occur. Super-selective embolization represents another possible therapeutic option, despite the low risk of segmentary intestinal ischemia.

Lower gastrointestinal bleeding due to vascular abnormalities is commonly found in the elderly and on the right side of the colon. Such lesions are still difficult to diagnose and manage. We report a case with recurrent and massive lower gastrointestinal bleeding due to angiodysplasia at an unusual age and localization, which was diagnosed and treated endoscopically.
متن کاملIsolated Jejunal Angiodysplasia: A Rare Cause of Massive Lower Gastrointestinal Bleeding Requiring Surgical Resection with an Unexpected Localization
Angiodysplasias are most commonly observed in the cecum and ascending colon. The number of cases with angiodysplasias in the jejunum is very few. The endovascular transcatheter embolization method can be used in cases of lower gastrointestinal tract bleeding when endoscopy is not effective. According to the nature of lesion and source of bleeding, embolization is performed using the appropriate...

متن کاملAngiodysplasia — Symptoms and Treatment
Angiodysplasia describes abnormal vascular malformations found in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, especially in the cecum and right colon. These malformations are prone to bleed and may be responsible for painless hematochezia, melena and concomitant anemia. Diagnosis can be made by direct visualization during endoscopy or angiography. Treatment consists of endoscopic interventions, including ...
