Excerpt

Angioectasias (AE) represent one of a variety of vascular gastrointestinal mucosal lesions that can potentially bleed. Initial studies of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding demonstrated an association between calcific aortic stenosis and recurrent melena from bleeding arteriovenous malformations [1]. Although past management included selective angiography [2] and blind right colectomy [3], subsequent advances in flexible endoscopic techniques demonstrated the safety and effectiveness of electrocautery via colonoscopy for management of these lesions [4], thereby highlighting the contribution of the gastroenterologist to the identification and management of bleeding AE. …
