[Aortic stenosis associated with vascular malformations of the digestive tract. 2 cases (author's transl)].
Two patients with aortic stenosis had recurrent digestive haemorrhages. Fiberoscopy showed the presence of angiodysplasia of the stomach in one patient and of the colon in the other. This association had been reported in subjects older than 60. It does not seem to be fortuitous. The authors discuss the theoretical and practical implications, including the need for full radiological and endoscopic exploration of patients with recurrent digestive haemorrhages, particularly when associated with aortic stenosis.
