Recurrent Gastrointestinal Bleeding in a Patient With Severe Aortic Valve Stenosis: A Diagnosis of Heyde's Syndrome.

Heyde's syndrome is defined as the coexistence of aortic valve stenosis (AS) and recurrent gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding from intestinal angiodysplasia (IA). Despite the fact that Heyde's syndrome was first described decades ago, the association between AS and IA remains frequently unidentified, and thus, a high clinical suspicion is needed for its diagnosis. Here we present a case of a 60-year-old man with a history of severe AS, who presented with recurrent GI bleeding and was found to have multiple intestinal angioectasias on endoscopy.
