Abstract

Lower Gastrointestinal Bleeding (LGB) is defined as gastrointestinal bleeding distal to the angle of Treitz. In many situations, the clinical presentation of a gastrointestinal bleeding does not allow elucidating its origin. LGB can manifest in the form of hematochezia or rectal bleeding, and of the total number of patients with LGB, the highest percentage are from the colon in aprox. 75% of cases, being less frequent the upper gastrointestinal tract. Among the main causes of LGB are colonic diverticulosis and angiodysplasia, which are more prevalent in older patients.

Heyde Syndrome is a rare diagnosis, first described in 1958. It is the association of gastrointestinal bleeding due to angiodysplasia and aortic stenosis, both being a degenerative process due to an acquired deficiency of von Willebrand Factor (vWF), type IIA.

The objective of this presentation is to present a rare cause of LGB such as Heyde Syndrome, whose definitive treatment consists in aortic valve replacement
